SOUVENIR  of  NEW  YORK 

^^^mmmm^^^^2ma^^  CENTS 


Fraunccs  Taue;n,  New  York  City 


AT  the  lower  end  of  Manhattan  Island,  near  Bowling  Green,  stands 
/  \  this  building,  rich  in  Revolutionary  memories.  This  fine  ex- 
ample of  Colonial  architecture  is  now  owned  and  maintained 
as  an  inn  and  public  museum  by  the  New  York  Sons  of  the  American 
Revolution.  During  the  months  when  the  Continental  Army  occupied 
New  York,  Fraunces  Tavern  was  George  Washington's  headquarters. 

Not  until  the  final  victory  had  been  won  did  Washington  regain  New 
York.  Then  he  returned  to  his  old  headquarters,  and  here  was  spread 
the  farewell  dinner  for  his  officers.  The  emotion  of  those  heroes  when 
he  bade  them  goodbye  will  still  stir  Americans  who  may  stand  in  that 
historic  room.

Sub-Treasury  Building,  New  York  City 


A  T  the  corner  of  Wall  and  Nassau  Streers  stands  the  Sub- 
/-\  Treasury  Building,  formerly  the  site  of  Federal  Hall  where 
the  first  Congress  of  the  United  States  assembled.  It 
was  here  that  George  Washington,  attired  in  black  velvet,  a  white 
waistcoat  and  silken  breeches,  was  inaugurated.  Inside  the  build- 
ing is  preserved  the  stone  on  which  he  stood.  On  the  pedestal 
outside,  Ward's  heroic  statue  of  Washington  commemorates  the 
event.  The  statue  was  unveiled  Nov.  26,  1883,  the  day  on  which, 
one  hundred  years  before,  General  Washington  and  his  men 
entered  the  city  at  the  end  of  the  Revolutionary  War.

Chairman  Hull  and  His  Work 

HEAD  OF  DEMOCRATIC  NATIONAL  COMMITTEE  AS  A  SOLDIER,  JURIST,  LEGISLATOR 

AND  PARTY  LEADER 


HEN  America,  at  the  call  of  the  last  Demo- 
cratic President,  entered  the  World  War  it 
was  fortunate  for  the  administration  and 
for  the  country  that  among  the  legislative 


leaders  in  Congress  was  one  of  the  nation's  soundest 
economists — Hon.  Corded  Hull,  author  of  the  Federal 
Income  and  Inheritance  Tax  legislation  and  co-author  of 
other  war  legislation  which  provided  the  means  of 
America's  military,  naval  and  financial  participation  in 
that  titanic  struggle  and  insured  an  ultimate  victory. 

While  economic  problems  are  paramount  in  this 
country  and  throughout  the  world,  following  the  destruc- 
tion and  dislocation  wrought  by  the  great  war,  it  is 
fortunate  for  the  Democratic  party  and  for  the  country 
that  the .  Chairman  of  the  Democratic  National  Com- 
mittee should  be  Representative  Hull,  who  has  employed 
all  the  resources  of  the  committee  and  of  the  party  to 
bring  the  country  to  an  understanding  of  the  needs  which 
must  be  met  and  the  remedies  which  must  be  applied  in 
the.  way  of  legislation. 

Constructive  Services 

It  is  one  thing  to  conduct  a  campaign  of  negation  by 
merely  pointing  out  the  failures  of  the  opposition,  but  it 
is  quite  another  thing  to  suggest  the  ways  and  means  to 
repair  these  failures  and  to  make  a  political  party  ser- 
viceable to  the  nation.  Judge  Hull  has  conspicuously 
followed  the  better  of  these  two  methods  in  his  two  and 
a  half  years'  service  at  the  head  of  the  Democratic 
National  Committee. 

In  the  opinion  of  many  there  has  been  no  more  com- 
prehensive treatment  of  the  economic  questions  which 
have  confronted  this  country  and  the  world  from  the 
beginning  of  the  World  War  than  an  article  written  by 
Judge  Hull  in  the  autumn  of  1921  entitled  "The 
Economic  Consequences  of  the  Defeat  of  the  Peace 
Treaty."  widely  published  in  the  leading  newspapers  of 
the  country  and  later  widely  circulated  as  a  public 
document,  •  reprinted  from  the  Congressional  Record. 
The  sequel  told  in  the  events  of  the  last  three  years  has 
been  a  vindication  of  his  views. 

This  sure  vision  of  Judge  Hull  in  1921  has  guided  him 
in  the  conduct  of  the  Congressional  Campaign  of  1922 
and  thus  .far  in  the  preliminary  campaign  of  1924. 
Through  speeches  and  public  statements  and  the  publicity 
that  has  gone  out  from  headquarters.  Chairman  Hull  has 
emphasized  and  reiterated  the  importance  of  the  economic 
issues  which  con  front  the  country.  Intimately  associated 


with  these  economic  issues  are  principles  of  moral  con- 
duct, and  these  he  has  likewise  stressed,  and  in  such  a 
way  that  it  has  won  him  encomiums  from  some  of  the 
writers  of  the  opposition  press,  who  have  frankly  said 
that  under  his  chairmanship  the  Democratic  National 
Committee  has  never  shown  a  higher  morale  nor  com- 
manded greater  respect. 

Judge  Hull  has  peculiar  and  conspicuous  fitness  for  the 
post  of  chairman  of  the  Democratic  National  Committee. 
He  is  modest  and  tolerant.  He  is  almost  unbelievably 
industrious.  To  these  natural  qualities  it  has  been  his 
lot  to  add  a  multifarious  experience.  Life  was  simple — 
and  serious — in  the  little  town  where  Judge  Hull  was 
reared.  There  was  a  good  deal  of  work  to  be  done  to 
make  a  mark  in  that  world.  But  he  did  it.  He  studied 
law  and  began  to  practice  his  profession  when  still  a 
young  man.  He  was  only  21  years  old  when  he  was 
elected  to  the  first  office  he  ever  held — membership  in 
the  Tennessee  House  of  Representatives.  He  continued 
in  the  legislature  until  1897.  The  Spanish-American  war 
was  already  inevitable  when  young  Hull  had  ended  his 
second  term  in  the  Tennessee  House  of  Representatives. 
In  a  few  months  this  war  began.  He  joined  the  Fourth 
Tennessee  Regiment  of  Volunteers  and  became  captain 
of  Company  H.  That  was  the  beginning  of  his  leader- 
ship of  men. 

His  People  Are  With  Him 

Back  from  the  war,  Cordell  Hull  returned  to  the 
practice  of  law.  His  industry  and  attention  to  his  pro- 
fessional duties — and  his  fine  character — brought  him 
new  notice.  The  lawyers  and  people  of  Smith  County — 
Carthage,  Chairman  Hull's  home  town,  is  the  county 
seat — wanted  him  for  judge.  1 1  e  was  elected,  and 
served  handsomely.  From  1907  until  1921  he  was  a 
member  of  the  national  House  of  Representatives.  He 
was  defeated  in  1920  by  a  few  hundred  votes,  when  the 
"seven  million"  overwhelmed  the  land.  Many  leading 
Republicans  in  the  House  expressed  regret  at  his  tem- 
porary defeat,  feeling  that  it  was  a  loss  to  sound  economic 
legislation.  But  the  people  of  the  Fourth  District  have 
since  revised  their  judgment  in  Cordell  Hull's  favor, 
and  he  is  back  in  Congress,  having  received  the  largest 
majority  ever  given  a  candidate  in  his  district — some- 
thing over  8,000. 

It  was  on  his  election  to  Congress  that  Judge  Hull 
became  a  national  figure.  He  served  on  the  Ways  and 
Means  Committee  of  the  House,  where  his  wise  and 


deep  knowledge  of  economics  made  him  an  asset  of  his 
party  and  of  the  government.  When  the  United  States 
entered  the  World  War  there  came  the  task  of  finding 
revenues  in  sums  of  which  the.  American  people  had 
never  dreamed.  Judge  Hull  was  already  equipped  to 
devise  the  legislation  which  was  to  pay  the  way.  Just 
prior  to  that  time  he  had  written  the  Federal  Income  Tax 
Law  and  the  Inheritance  Tax  Law,  and  they  were  ready 
for  use.  The  legislation  to  stahilize  the  value  of  Liberty 
Bonds  was  initiated  by  Judge  Hull.  In  1917  he  was 
head  of  a  board  co-operating  with  the  Treasury  Depart- 
ment to  prepare  regulations  making  the  administration  of 
the  War  Revenue  Act  more  equitable  and  efficient. 

Since  his  latest  election  to  Congress  Judge  Hull  has 
played  an  important  role  in  assisting  his  colleagues  in 
devising  the  policies  and  program  of  the  Democratic 
minority  of  Congress. 

Judge  Hull  became  a  member  of  the  Democratic 
National  Committee  from  his  state  in  1914.  His  col- 
leagues on  the  committee  soon  shared  the  regard  and 
respect  for  him  felt  by  his  associates  in  Congress.  Within 
two  years  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Executive 
Committee.    He  was  a  member  of  the  Committee  in  the 


Congressional  campaign  of  1914  and  in  the  Presidential 
campaigns  of  1916  and  1920.  When  Hon.  George 
White  of  Ohio  voluntarily  retired  from  the  chairman- 
ship of  the  National  Committee  in  1921,  the  various 
elements  of  the  organization  coincided  in  the  selection 
of  Cordell  Hull  as  the  former's  successor.  His  formal 
election  took  place  in  St.  Louis  on  November  1,  1921. 

The  Congressional  campaign  of  1922  was  Chairman 
Hull's  first  political  fight  of  national  scope.  The  strategy 
of  that  campaign  was  largely  of  his  devising.  The  issues 
were  of  the  kind  he  thoroughly  understands — the  tariff, 
the  ship  subsidy,  and  taxation.  With  hardly  any  finan- 
cial resources  and  with  an  organization  crippled  in  many 
places  by  the  Democratic  defeat  of  1920,  the  National 
Committee,  under  Chairman  Hull's  leadership  and  direc- 
tion, came  through  the  campaign  with  Democratic 
strength  and  prestige  in  Congress  and  in  the  nation 
signally  increased. 

The  Presidential  campaign  about  to  open  was  really 
begun  in  1922.  because  that  was  part  of  Chairman  Hull's 
plan.  He  foresaw  that  the  issues  of  1922  would  in  the 
main  be  those  of  1924. 


The  Committees  V/oman  Leader 


MRS.  EMILY  NEWELL  BLAIR  DISTINGUISHED  AS  AN 
ORGANIZER  AND  AN  ORATOR 


RS.  EMILY  NEWELL  BLAIR,  vice-chair- 
man of  the  Democratic  National  Commit- 
tee in  charge  of  organization  of  women 
"  voters,  is  a  widely  known  public  speaker 
and  magazine  writer.  She  won  her  first  political  spurs 
in  managing  a  county  campaign  in  her  own  home  town 
of  Joplin,  Jasper  County,  Missouri.  But  she  had  been 
"brought  up  on  politics."  As  a  girl,  and  later  as  the 
wife  of  Harry  "Wallace  Blair,  a  Joplin  lawyer,  she  par- 
ticipated in  county  and  city  campaigns. 

She  became  active  in  the  suffrage  movement  in  Mis- 
souri, and  had  charge  of  the  press  and  publicity  cam- 
paign in  the  days  when  the  suffrage  amendment  to  the 
Missouri  Constitution  was  adopted.  At  the  time  she 
published  "The  Missouri  Woman." 

As  a  magazine  writer,  her  first  series,  "Letters  of  a 
Contented  Wife,"  attracted  wide  attention,  and  later 
appeared  in  book  form. 

Mrs.  Blair  was  once  on  the  staff  of  the  Ladies'  Home 
Journal,  and  with  the  beginning  of  suffrage  wrote  a 
series  of  articles  for  various  publications  upon  women's 
entry  in  politics. 

Valuable  Public  Services 

During  her  husband's  war  service  in  France,  Mrs. 
Blair  reported  in  W  ashington  for  war  work  and  served 
under  Ida  Tarbell  in  the  press  department  of  the 
Women's  Committee  of  the  Council  of  National  De- 
fense. Later,  she  was  assistant  to  Hannah  J.  Patterson, 
associate  director  of  the  Field  Division  of  the  Council. 
At  the  close  of  the  war  she  wrote  the  official  "History 
of  the  Women's  Committee"  which  was  published  by  the 
Government  with  a  foreword  by  the  Honorable  Newton 
D.  Baker,  then  chairman  of  the  Council. 

After  her  return  to  Joplin,  Mrs.  Blair  entered  actively 
into  the  political  life  of  her  state.  She  also  resumed  her 
magazine  writing,  and  reported  the  Republican  and 
Democratic  National  Conventions  in  1920  for  the  New 
York  Times  Current  History  Magazine.  She  delivered 
a  series  of  lectures  on  citizenship  before  the  student 
body  of  the  University  of  Florida,  and  later  organized 
the  women  in  Florida  and  Mississippi.  In  1920  she 
campaigned  actively  for  the  Democratic  Party  in  Mis- 
souri, and  following  the  Democratic  National  Con- 
vention in  San  Francisco  was  elected  Democratic  Na- 


tional Committeewoman  from  Missouri,  a  position  to 
which  she  was  re-elected  April  1 5  last. 

Because  of  her  known  ability  as  an  organizer,  her 
established  leadership  among  women  voters  and  her 
charm  as  a  public  speaker,  Mrs.  Blair  was  selected  in 
February,  1922,  to  become  the  director  of  the  organiza- 
tion of  women  voters  within  the  Democratic  Party.  She 
took  up  her  residence  in  Washington  and  later  became 
vice-chairman  of  the  National  Committee. 

During  the  more  than  two  years  Mrs.  Blair  has  been 
in  charge  of  this  work  she  has  addressed  women  voters 
in  many  national  meetings.  She  is  in  demand  as  a 
speaker  on  politics  at  all  rallies  of  the  new  voters, 
whether  meeting  as  party  members  or  as  members  of 
non-partisan  groups.  A  speech  delivered  by  her  before 
an  audience  of  women  voters  in  Philadelphia  on  "What 
Women  May  Do  With  the  Ballot,"  which  was  printed 
and  distributed  by  the  Philadelphia  women,  has  been 
commented  upon  as  being  the  most  constructive  and  in- 
formative document  yet  placed  before  women  voters. 

A  Charming  Personality 

Mrs.  Blair  divided  the  organization  of  women  into 
seven  regional  groups  and  ha5  conducted  conferences  in 
six  of  the  regions,  adapting  the  national  plan  of  work 
to  local  conditions.  Hundreds  of  clubs  have  been  or- 
ganized under  her  direction,  and  through  literature  and 
Schools  of  Democracy  she  has  taken  politics  to  women 
in  every  district  of  the  country. 

Small  of  stature,  charming  in  personality,  with  viva- 
cious smile  and  bright  brown  eyes,  Mrs.  Blair  is  unlike 
the  average  conception  of  "a  regular  woman  politician." 
But  her  knowledge  of  politics  is  broad  and  she  has  the 
knack  of  making  her  subject  interesting  to  women.  Men 
in  her  party  consider  that  she  has  developed  valuable 
co-operation  and  has  done  splendid  work  for  her  party. 

Mrs.  Blair,  a  Middle  Westerner,  is  a  descendant  of 
pioneer  Americans,  the  first  of  whom  landed  in  1640. 
She  was  educated  in  Missouri  and  at  Goucher  College 
and  is  a  member  of  the  Daughters  of  the  American 
Revolution,  the  Missouri  Federation  of  Women's 
Clubs,  the  Writers'  Guild  of  Missouri,  the  Business  and 
Professional  Women's  Clubs,  the  National  Pen  Women's 
League,  the  Women's  City  Club  of  Washington.  D.  C. 
and  other  organizations.  A  son,  Newell,  and  a  daughter, 
Harriet,  are  in  college.

Democratic  J^ational  Conventions 

1832 , 1924 

A  PASSING  REVIEW  OF  THE  GREAT  NATIONAL  GATHERINGS,  HISTORIC  POLITICAL 

EVENTS  AND  DISTINCTIVE  PERSONAGES 

^By  Richard  Linthicum 

Director  of  Publicity,  Democratic  J^ationdl  Committee 


aS  New  York  this  year  is  the  scene  of  the 
latest  and  greatest  national  political  conven- 
tion in  the  history  of  the  country,  so  it  was 
the  scene  of  the  first  national  convention  ever 
held  by  a  political  party.  After  the  convention  system 
of  nominating  candidates  for  President  and  Vice-Presi- 
dent was  adopted,  Baltimore  was  the  favorite  convention 
city  of  the  Democrats  for  a  long  time ;  in  later  years 
the  West  and  Southwest  have  been  the  favorite  sections. 
But  New  York  has  the  historical  distinction  of  being  the 
first  convention  city  of  any  political  party,  for  it  was 
there  that  the  Federalists  met  in  September,  1812, 
and  ratified  the  action  of  a  caucus  of  state  legislators 
which  had  been  held  at  Albany  by  nominating  De  Witt 
Clinton  of  New  York  for  President  and  Jared  Ingersoll 
of  Pennsylvania  for  Vice-President. 

President  James  Madison  that  year  was  the  candidate 
of  the  Republican  party  (as  the  present  Democratic 
party  was  then  known)  and  was  unanimously  nominated 
by  a  legislative  caucus,  which  was  the  method  generally 
followed  in  the  pre-Jacksonian  period.  Governor 
Elbridge  Gerry  of  Massachusetts  was  put  on  the  ticket 
with  Madison  after  Governor  John  Langdon  of  New 
Hampshire  had  declined  the  nomination.  Madison,  with 
the  prestige  of  the  office  of  Chief  Executive  and  his 
fame  as  the  "Father  of  the  Constitution,"  had  an  addi- 
tional source  of  strength  by  reason  of  the  war  with 
England,  which  was  being  waged  during  the  election 
period,  and  he  was  easily  re-elected.  Although  the 
phrase,  "Don't  swap  horses  while  crossing  a  stream," 
was  not  in  existence  as  a  political  slogan,  the  sentiment 
was  undoubtedly  in  the  minds  of  the  electorate  even  at 
that  early  period. 

Beginning  of  Convention  System 

The  national  convention  system  for  political  parties 
came  into  existence  in  1832,  and  for  the  first  time  all 
parties  nominated  their  candidates  in  convention.  The 
year  1832  is  memorable  in  political  history  for  other 
reasons  as  well.  Prior  to  that  time  the  political  parties 
had  not  issued  platforms.  The  national  Republican 
party,  or  Whig  party  as  it  came  to  be  known,  that  year 
adopted  the  first  platform  ever  issued  by  a  political 
party  in  the  United  States,  although  it  was  adopted  in 
the  convention  which  originally  nominated  Henry  Clay 
of   Kentucky   for    President   and   John   Sergeant  of 


Pennsylvania  for  Vice-President.  This  convention  met 
in  1831,  but  the  making  of  a  platform  was  left  to  a 
National  Assembly  of  Young  Men,  which  met  in  Wash- 
ington in  May,  1832. 

A  second  reason  why  the  year  1832  is  politically 
memorable,  especially  to  Democrats,  is  that  in  the  Demo- 
cratic National  Convention  that  year — the  first  Demo- 
cratic National  Convention  ever  held — -a  rule  was  adopted 
requiring  a  two-thirds  vote  to  make  a  nomination.  That 
rule  has  been  in  existence  ever  since.  From  time  to 
time  there  has  been  talk  of  changing  it,  and  sporadic 
efforts  have  been  made  to  do  so,  but  they  have  all  been 
unavailing  so  far.  In  1844  the  two-thirds  rule  was 
readopted,  for  a  purpose  which  will  be  shown  in  dis- 
cussing the  Democratic  Convention  of  that  year. 

The  Party  of  the  People 

The  Democratic  National  Convention  of  1832  met  at 
Baltimore  on  May  21,  and  unanimously  nominated 
President  Andrew  Jackson  of  Tennessee  for  re-election 
and  Martin  Van  Buren  of  New  York  for  Vice-President. 
No  platform  was  issued  to  offset  the  Whig  declaration, 
and  none  was  needed,  for  Jackson's  personal  popularity 
was  alone  a  sufficiently  winning  factor,  in  addition  to 
which  the  Democratic  party  under  his  candidacy  from 
1824  to  1828  and  under  his  presidency  from  1828  to 
1832  had  been  confirmed  as  the  party  of  the  people.  As 
the  hero  of  the  battle  of  New  Orleans  he  had  a  strong 
basis  for  popularity,  which,  when  reinforced  by  the 
slogan  of  his  followers,  "To  the  victor  belong  the  spoils," 
had  won  the  campaign  of  1828. 

The  personal  popularity  of  Jackson  had  been  demon- 
strated in  the  campaign  of  1824,  when  he  was  first 
nominated  for  President  and  received  a  plurality  of  the 
popular  vote  over  John  Quincy  Adams  of  Massachusetts, 
William  A.  Crawford  of  Georgia  and  Henry  Clay  of 
Kentucky,  but  did  not  have  a  majority  of  the  electoral 
votes,  so  that  the  election  was  thrown  into  the  House  of 
Representatives,  and  Adams  won.  The  extravagance 
of  the  Adams  administration,  together  with  the  fact  that 
Adams  was  a  candidate  of  the  aristocratic  element,  gained 
many  votes  for  Jackson  in  the  1828  election  and  gave 
him  a  substantial  victory  over  Adams  that  year. 

Inception  of  Platform  Idea 

In  1832,  when  Jackson  was  running  for  the  third  time 
and  for  the  second  term,  Henry  Clay,  his  opponent,  was 


running  for  the  second  time,  and  was  doomed  to  go 
down  to  defeat  that  year,  and  once  later,  in  1844.  Henry 
Clay  and  William  Jennings  Bryan  are  the  only  presi- 
dential candidates  who  ran  three  times  without  reaching 
the  presidency.  Both  were  distinguished  for  their  large 
personal  following  and  as  great  orators  who  had  the 
power  to  arouse  the  enthusiasm  of  the  populace,  but 
neither  was  quite  able  to  reach  the  goal.  Both  of  the 
administrations  of  Jackson  were  stormy,  which  was 
characteristic  of  his  personality,  but  his  honesty,  courage, 
patriotism  and  regard  for  the  masses  of  the  people  stand 
out  as  political  virtues  worthy  of  emulation  for  all  time. 

Nominations  for  the  1836  campaign  were  made  by  the 
Democrats  in  May,  1835.  The  Democratic  National 
Convention  met  at  Baltimore  and  nominated  Vice-Presi- 
dent Martin  Van  Buren  of  New  York  for  President  by 
acclamation,  and  Richard  M.  Johnson  of  Kentucky  for 
Vice-President.  No  platform  was  issued,  but  this  year 
witnessed  the  inception  of  the  platform  idea  by  the  Demo- 
crats in  the  shape  of  a  declaration  of  party  principles. 
New  York  has  the  historical  distinction  of  having  put 
out  this  pseudo-platform,  which  was  issued  by  the  Demo- 
crats of  that  state  and  set  a  precedent  for  future  platform 
declarations  by  the  Democratic  party.  The  New  York 
State  Whigs  followed  suit  with  resolutions  attacking 
Van  Buren  and  accusing  him  of  plotting  with  Jackson 
to  gain  the  Presidency. 

New  Apportionment  of  Delegates 

Van  Buren's  opponent  was  General  William  Henry 
Harrison  of  Ohio,  the  hero  of  Tippecanoe,  with  John 
Tyler  of  Virginia  as  his  running  mate.  Van  Buren 
received  20,000  plurality  of  the  popular  vote,  but  objec- 
tion was  raised  to  his  election  on  the  ground  that  Michi- 
gan, which  gave  its  vote  to  Van  Buren,  had  not  been 
formally  admitted  to  the  Union.  A  congressional  com- 
mittee, which  considered  the  matter,  reported  that  Van 
Buren  was  elected  without  the  vote  of  Michigan,  and  he 
was  declared  elected.  The  election  of  the  vice-president 
was  made  by  the  Senate,  as  no  candidate  for  that  office 
had  received  a  majority.  The  Senate  named  Richard  M. 
Johnson. 

In  the  Democratic  National  Convention  which  nomi- 
nated Van  Buren  and  Johnson  the  method  of  apportion- 
ing delegates  on  the  basis  of  representation  in  Congress 
was  first  adopted.  In  this  convention  (May  20.  1835) 
the  number  of  delegates  was  restricted  to  the  number  of 
representatives  in  Congress,  although  there  were  many 
times  that  number  of  delegates  present. 

President  Van  Buren  was  unanimously  renominated  by 
the  Democratic  National  Convention  which  met  at  Balti- 
more May  5,  1840.  The  nomination  for  vice-president 
was  left  to  the  various  states.  Vice-President  Richard 
M.  Johnson  received  a  plurality  over  his  Democratic 
competitor.  The  Whigs  again  nominated  General  Harri- 
son for  President  and  John  Tyler  for  Vice-President. 


This  was  the  famous  ''Log  Cabin"  and  "Hard  Cider" 
campaign,  and  resulted  in  the  overwhelming  success  of 
the  Whig  ticket. 

It  was  in  this  campaign  that  the  ground-work  of  the 
present  Republican  party  was  laid.  Back  in  1833  the 
National  Anti-Slavery  Society  had  been  formed,  and  its 
members  soon  became  known  as  Abolitionists.  The 
breaking  up  of  Abolitionist  meetings,  the  destruction  of 
printing  presses  and  the  killing  of  Owen  Lovejoy  in- 
creased the  ranks  of  the  Abolitionists  to  such  an  extent 
that  the  national  Abolitionist  party  had  a  convention 
which  met  at  Warsaw,  N.  Y.,  on  November  13,  1839. 
This  convention  adjourned  to  meet  on  April  1,  1840,  at 
Albany,  where  it  nominated  James  D.  Birney  of  New 
York  for  President  and  Francis  Lemoyne  of  Pennsyl- 
vania for  Vice-President  and  passed  an  anti-slavery 
resolution. 

New  York  State,  therefore,  has  the  historical  distinc- 
tion of  being  the  scene  of  the  first  National  Convention 
of  the  National  Abolition  party,  out  of  which  grew  the 
present  Republican  party  in  1856. 

The  Annexation  of  Texas 

In  the  Democratic  convention  of  1844,  which  met  at 
Baltimore  on  May  27,  Van  Buren  was  again  a  candidate 
for  the  presidential  nomination  and  a  majority  of  the 
delegates  were  pledged  to  vote  for  him.  The  annexation 
of  Texas  was  a  burning  issue,  especially  with  the 
Southern  delegates,  as  was  also  the  reoccupation  of 
Oregon.  Van  Buren's  views  on  the  annexation  of 
Texas  were  unsatisfactory  to  the  Southern  delegates, 
who  proposed  and  secured  the  re-adoption  of  the  Two- 
Thirds  Rule,  thereby  preventing  Van  Buren's  nomina- 
tion. The  convention  nominated  James  K.  Polk  of 
Tennessee  for  President  and  George  M.  Dallas  of 
Pennsylvania  for  Vice-President,  after  Silas  WTight  of 
New  York  had  declined  the  latter  nomination. 

The  platform  reaffirmed  the  strict  Constructionist 
platform  of  1840  and  demanded  the  reoccupation  of 
Oregon  and  the  annexation  of  Texas.  The  Whig  con- 
vention, which  met  at  Baltimore  on  May  1,  nominated 
Henry  Clay  for  the  third  and  last  time  for  President 
and  Theodore  Frelinghuysen  of  New  York  for  Vice- 
President.  Clay's  position  on  the  Texas  question  was 
the  same  as  Van  Buren's — that  is  to  say  he  did  not  favor 
it  just  then.  The  election  that  year  was  the  closest  of 
all  national  contests  with  the  exception  of  1876,  but 
Polk  won  by  a  slender  majority. 

The  Abolitionists,  who  had  renominated  Birney  at  a 
convention  at  Buffalo,  polled  65,608  votes,  as  compared 
with  7,059  in  1840.  It  is  of  current  interest  to  note 
that  the  Whig  platform  of  1844  declared  for  a  tariff 
for  revenue  only  and  a  single  term  for  the  President. 

In  1848  the  Democratic  National  Convention  at  Balti- 
more on  May  22-26  nomniated  Louis  Cass  of  Michigan 
for  President  and  General  William  O.  Butler  of  Ken- 
tucky for  Vice-President. 


The  Whigs  nominated  General  Zachary  Taylor  of 
Louisiana,  the  Mexican  War  hero,  for  President,  and 
Millard  Filmore  of  New  York  for  Vice-President.  Tay- 
lor and  Filmore  were  elected.  Taylor  died  in  office  and 
was  succeeded  hy  Filmore. 

The  election  of  1848  was  the  first  presidential  election 
held  under  the  law  requiring-  presidential  elections  to  he 
on  the  first  Tuesday  after  the  first  Monday  in  November. 
The  law  was  passed  in  1845. 

Former  President  Van  Buren  and  Charles  Francis 
Adams  of  Massachusetts  were  nominated  by  a  new  party 
known  as  the  Free  Soilers  in  convention  at  Buffalo  on 
August  9,  and  the  Free  Soilers  were  joined  by  the  Old 
Liberty  party  and  other  northern  Democrats  opposed  to 
slavery. 

Franklin  Pierce  of  New  Hampshire,  ex-Brigadier 
General  and  former  U.  S.  Senator,  and  U.  S.  Senator 
William  Rufus  King  of  Alabama  were  the  Democratic 
nominees  in  1852.  The  convention  met  at  Baltimore  on 
June  1-6.  The  Whig  convention  also  met  at  Baltimore 
and  nominated  General  Winfield  Scott  of  New  Jersey 
and  Secretary  of  the  Navy  William  A.  Graham  of  North 
Carolina  for  President  and  Vice-President  respectively. 

The  Democratic  platform  reaffirmed  the  platform  of 
1848,  which  was  a  reaffirmation  of  the  platform  of  1840, 
favored  a  tariff  for  revenue  and  the  payment  of  the 
national  debt  and  opposed  legislation  of  a  monopolistic 
character.  The  Whig  platform  that  year  was  similar, 
endorsing  the  compromise  of  1850  and  the  fugitive  slave 
law.  The  Whig  electors  carried  only  four  states  while 
Pierce  and  King  carried  twenty-seven. 

Slavery  a  Growing  Issue 

When  the  Democratic  National  Convention  met  at 
Cincinnati  on  June  2,  1856,  and  nominated  James 
Buchanan  of  Pennsylvania,  U.  S.  Minister  to  England, 
for  President,  and  for  Vice-President  John  C.  Brecken- 
ridge  of  Kentucky,  the  Republican  party  had  been  organ- 
ized, succeeding  the  Whig  party  as  the  Whig  party  had 
succeeded  the  Federalists,  and  the  extension  of  slavery 
was  a  growing  issue  which  was  ultimately  to  divide  the 
nation  as  it  was  then  dividing  individuals  in  party  alle- 
giance. The  nominees  of  the  new  Republican  party  were 
John  C.  Fremont  of  California  for  President  and  ex- 
U.  S.  Senator  William  L.  Dayton  of  New  Jersey  for 
Vice-President. 

What  was  left  of  the  Whig  party  held  a  convention  at 
Baltimore  September  17-18  and  ratified  the  nominees  of 
the  so-called  American  (Know-nothing)  party — ex- 
President  Millard  Filmore  and  A.  J.  Donaldson. 

The  year  1856  marked  the  beginning  of  long  platform 
declarations  covering  the  increased  number  of  issues 
upon  which  parties  were  divided.  Buchanan  and 
Breckinridge  were  elected.  The  New  Republican  party 
had  8  electoral  votes  in  a  total  of  296. 


One  of  the  stormiest  conventions  ever  held  by  the 
Democratic  party  was  that  which  met  at  Charleston, 
S.  C,  on  April  23,  1860,  resulting  in  a  split  between 
the  Northern  Democrats,  who  favored  Stephen  A. 
Douglas  of  Illinois,  then  a  U.  S.  Senator,  and  the 
Southern  wing,  which  favored  John  C.  Breckinridge 
of  Kentucky.  After  the  adoption  of  the  Douglas  plat- 
form the  delegations  from  a  number  of  southern  states 
withdrew.  This  convention  nominated  Douglas  for 
President  and  Herschel  V.  Johnson  of  Georgia  for 
Vice-President.  The  seceding  delegates,  after  adopting 
a  platform,  adjourned  to  meet  in  Richmond,  Va.,  and 
again  adjourned  to  Baltimore,  where  on  June  28  they 
nominated  for  President  John  C.  Breckinridge  of 
Kentucky  and  for  Vice-President  Joseph  Lane  of 
Oregon. 

The  Rise  of  Lincoln 

Abraham  Lincoln  had  laid  the  foundation  for  his 
presidential  nomination  in  his  debates  with  Douglas,  and 
on  May  16,  1860,  the  Republican  National  Convention 
at  Chicago  nominated  Lincoln  for  President  and  Han- 
nibal Hamlin  for  Vice-President.  The  Republican  plat- 
form that  year  favored  the  tariff  for  revenue  and  for 
the  protection  of  industrial  development,  and  also  fav- 
ored the  construction  of  the  Pacific  Railroad,  the  begin- 
ning of  grants  and  subsidies  to  railroad  corporations,  out 
of  which  grew  the  great  Credit  Mobilier  scandal. 

Lincoln  and  Hamlin  received  180  of  the  380  electoral 
votes  ;  Breckinridge  and  Lane,  72  ;  Douglas  and  Johnson, 
12,  while  39  went  to  John  Bell  of  Tennessee  and  Edward 
Everett  of  Massachusetts,  who  had  been  nominated  by 
the  Constitutional  Union  Party,  composed  largely  of 
dissenting  Democrats  and  organized  by  General  Sam 
Houston  of  Texas. 

The  Civil  War,  then  being  waged,  was  the  over- 
shadowing issue  when  Lincoln  was  unanimously  renom- 
inated in  1864  by  the  Republican  convention,  which  met 
at  Baltimore  on  June  7.  Andrew  Johnson  of  Tennessee 
was  nominated  for  Vice-President. 

A  Memorable  Convention 

The  Democratic  Convention  of  1864  met  at  Chicago 
on  August  29,  and  nominated  General  George  D. 
McClellan  for  President  and  George  H.  Pendleton  of 
Ohio  for  Vice-President.  An  interesting  fact  in  the 
election  that  year  was  the  close  vote  in  Pennylvania, 
where  Lincoln's  majority  was  only  20,000.  attributed  to 
the  fact  that  General  McClellan  was  a  native  of  that  state. 

Johnson  became  President  after  Lincoln's  assassina- 
tion on  April  14,  1865.  He  was  impeached  on  Februarv 
24,  1868,  but  one  vote  was  lacking  to  make  the  necessary 
two-thirds  for  conviction. 

New  York  secured  the  Democratic  Convention  in 
1868,  which  met  on  July  4-11  and  nominated  ex-Gov- 
ernor Horatio  Seymour  for  President  and  Francis  P. 


Blair,  Jr.,  for  Vice-President.  The  convention,  which 
met  in  Tammany  Hall,  was  the  most  memorable  in  party 
annals.  It  was  the  last  Democratic  Convention  to  be 
held  in  New  York  City  until  the  present  one  in  1924. 
This  year  Tammany  Hall,  where  the  1868  Democratic 
Convention  was  held,  will  reproduce  the  decorations 
used  on  that  occasion. 

The  Republican  Convention,  which  met  at  Chicago  on 
May  20-22,  nominated  General  Ulysses  S.  Grant  for 
President  and  Schuyler  Colfax  of  Indiana  for  Vice- 
President.  Both  platforms  that  year  denounced 
Andrew  Johnson.  Grant  and  Colfax  received  a  major- 
ity of  the  electoral  votes. 

A  Split  in  Camp 

The  Democratic  Convention  of  1872  met  at  Baltimore 
on  July  9.  The  Liberal  Republican  Convention  had 
met  at  Cincinnati  on  May  1  and  had  nominated  for 
President  Horace  Greeley  of  New  York,  editor  of  the 
New  York  Tribune,  then  the  leading  Republican  news- 
paper of  the  country,  Governor  B.  Gratz  Brown  of 
Missouri  for  Vice-President.  The  Democratic  Conven- 
tion nominated  the  candidates  of  the  Liberal  Republi- 
cans and  ratified  their  platform.  What  was  called  a 
Straight-out  Democratic  Convention  met  at  Louisville, 
Ky.,  September  3,  and  nominated  Charles  O'Connor, 
who  was  the  Labor-Reform  candidate,  for  President, 
and  John  Q.  Adams  of  Massachusetts  for  Vice-Presi- 
dent. 

The  campaign  of  1872  marked  the  beginning  of  the 
agitation  for  Civil  Service  reform.  The  year  1872  also 
witnessed  the  holding  of  a  National  Prohibition  Con- 
vention at  Columbus,  Ohio,  on  February  22,  which  nom- 
inated James  Black  of  Pennsylvania  for  President  and 
Rev.  John  Russell  of  Michigan  for  Vice-President.  A 
feature  of  the  Prohibition  convention  platform  was  a 
demand  for  equal  suffrage. 

Credit  Mobilier  Scandal 

The  Republican  Convention  met  at  Philadelphia  on 
June  5-6.  It  renominated  Grant  for  President  and 
United  States  Senator  Henry  Wilson  of  Massachusetts 
for  Vice-President.  The  second  administration  of  Presi- 
dent Grant  was  marked  by  a  long  list  of  scandals,  of 
which  the  Credit  Mobilier  was  the  outstanding  one. 

Governor  Samuel  J.  Tilden  of  New  York  and  ex- 
Governor  Thomas  J.  Hendricks  of  Indiana,  the  Demo- 
cratic nominees  in  1876,  were  named  at  a  convention 
which  met  at  St.  Louis  on  June  27-29. 

The  Republican  Convention  of  1876  met  at  Cincinnati 
on  June  14-16  and  nominated  Rutherford  B.  Hayes  of 
Ohio  and  William  A.  Wheeler  of  New  York.  The  cam- 
paign was  one  of  the  most  hotly  contested  in  American 
politics,  resulting  in  a  contest,  decided  by  an  electoral 
commission  of  five  Senators  and  five  Representatives  and 
five  Supreme  Court  Justices.    Eight  members  of  this 


commission  were  Republicans  and  seven  Democrats. 
By  a  strict  party  vote  Hayes  and  Wheeler  were  declared 
elected,  but  the  House  passed  a  resolution  declaring 
Tilden  and  Hendricks  elected  on  the  face  of  the  re- 
turns. Party  feeling  ran  high,  and  in  the  belief  of  many 
people  a  civil  war  was  averted  only  by  the  courage  and 
patriotism  of  Governor  Tilden. 

In  the  Republican  Convention  of  1876  James  G. 
Blaine  of  Maine,  one  of  the  aspirants  for  the  presi- 
dential nomination,  was  given  the  title  of  the  "Plumed 
Knight"  in  a  speech  made  by  Col.  Robert  G.  Ingersoll. 

General  Winfield  Scott  Hancock  of  Pennsylvania,  a 
Civil  War  hero,  was  the  Democratic  nominee  for  Presi- 
dent, and  ex-Congressman  William  H.  English  of  In- 
diana the  nominee  for  Vice-President,  named  by  the 
National  Convention  held  at  Cincinnati  on  June  22-24, 
1880. 

The  Republican  Convention  met  in  Chicago  on  June 
2-8,  1880,  and  nominated  James  A.  Garfield  of  Ohio, 
who  was  then  a  Senator-elect,  for  President  and  Chester 
A.  Arthur  of  New  York  for  Vice-President.  Garfield 
attended  the  convention  as  a  delegate  and  made  the 
nominating  speech  for  John  Sherman  of  Ohio.  The 
delegates  forgot  all  about  Sherman  and  nominated  the 
splendid  orator  instead.  In  this  convention  General 
Grant  was  a  candidate  for  a  third  term  and  had  306 
votes,  which  stood  with  him  to  the  end.  Later  medals 
were  struck  off  bearing  the  number  306  and  distributed 
among  the  Grant  delegates,  who  treasured  them  ever 
after  as  souvenirs. 

Grover  Cleveland  Wins 

In  1884  the  Democratic  Convention  met  at  Chicago 
on  June  8-11  and  nominated  Governor  Grover  Cleveland 
of  New  York  and  Thomas  A.  Hendricks  of  Indiana  for 
President  and  Vice-President,  respectively.  The  Repub- 
lican Convention  met  in  Chicago  on  June  3-6  and  nomi- 
nated James  G.  Blaine  of  Maine  and  ex-United  States 
Senator  John  A.  Logan  of  Illinois  for  President  and 
Vice-President,  respectively. 

In  campaign  which  followed.  Governor  Cleveland 
stressed  the  tariff  reform  issue,  which  won  him  many 
votes,  but  his  great  gain  in  strength  was  from  the  inde- 
pendents, commonly  known  as  the  "mugwumps,"  led  by 
George  William  Curtis,  Carl  Schurz,  Henry  Ward 
Beecher,  and  other  prominent  men.  What  eventually 
proved  to  be  the  decisive  factor  in  the  campaign  was  a 
speech  by  the  Rev.  Samuel  D.  Burchard.  in  which  he 
declared  that  the  antecedents  of  the  Democratic  party 
were  "Rum,  Romanism  and  Rebellion."  Blaine's 
Catholic  following  deserted  him  and  Cleveland  was 
saved  by  the  vote  of  New  York,  which  state  he  carried 
by  1,149  plurality  of  the  popular  vote. 

The  Greenback  Party,  which  that  year  nominated  Gen- 
eral Benjamin  F.  Butler  of  Massachusetts  for  Presi- 
dent, took  a  decided  slump,  and  its  vote  fell  off  to  nearly 


a  third  of  the  vote  for  General  James  B.  Weaver  of 
Iowa,  the  Greenback  candidate  in  1880. 

In  1888  the  Democratic  Convention,  which  met  at 
St.  Louis  on  June  5,  renominated  President  Cleveland 
by  acclamation  and  named  former  United  States  Senator 
Allan  G.  Thurman  of  Ohio,  "the  noblest  Roman  of  them 
all,"  for  Vice-President. 

The  Republican  Convention,  which  met  in  Chicago  on 
June  19  and  remained  in  session  six  days,  nominated  ex- 
United  States  Senator  Benjamin  Harrison  of  Indiana, 
a  grandson  of  President  William  Henry  Harrison,  for 
President  and  Levi  P.  Morton  of  New  York  for  Vice- 
President.  This  was  known  as  the  "Big  Hat  Cam- 
paign," from  the  fact  that  the  fur  beaver  of  General 
Harrison's  grandfather  was  used  as  a  party  emblem. 
Among  other  things  the  Republican  platform  had  de- 
clared for  the  gold  standard.  Harrison  and  Morton  won, 
although  Cleveland  and  Thurman  received  a  plurality 
of  95,713  of  the  popular  vote. 

Cleveland  Again 

Grover  Cleveland  was  nominated  for  the  third  time 
at  the  Democratic  National  Convention  which  met  at 
Chicago  on  June  21,  1892.  Adlai  E.  Stevenson  of 
Illinois  was  nominated  for  Vice-President.  The  Repub- 
lican National  Convention  of  1892  met  at  Minneapolis 
on  June  7-10  and  renominated  President  Harrison,  with 
Whitelaw  Reid,  editor  and  owner  of  the  New  York 
Tribune,  for  Vice-President.  Grover  Cleveland  was 
elected  for  the  second  time,  carrying  his  own  state,  New- 
York,  while  Illinois  also  gave  its  vote  to  the  Democratic 
nominee. 

One  of  the  most  memorable  conventions  of  the  Demo- 
cratic party  was  that  of  1896,  which  met  in  Chicago  on 
July  7  and  nominated  William  Jennings  Bryan  of 
Nebraska  for  President  and  Arthur  Sewall  of  Maine 
for  Vice-President,  with  the  free  and  unlimited  coinage 
of  silver  as  the  chief  issue  in  that  memorable  campaign. 

Bryan  and  Free  Silver 

The  Republican  convention  of  that  year  met  at  St. 
Louis  and  nominated  ex-Governor  William  McKinley 
of  Ohio  for  President  and  Garret  A.  Hobart  of  New 
Jersey  for  Vice-President.  In  a  split  on  the  silver 
question,  thirty-four  silverite  delegates  of  the  mining 
states  of  the  West,  led  by  United  States  Senator  Henry 
M.  Teller  of  Colorado  and  George  Buchanan  of  Utah, 
withdrew  from  the  convention.  This  element  later 
organized  as  Silver  Republicans  and  supported  the 
Democratic  ticket. 

The  Populist  Party,  technically  known  as  the  People's 
Party,  held  a  convention  in  St.  Louis  on  July  22  and 
nominated  the  Democratic  nominee,  William  J.  Bryan, 
for  President,  and  Thomas  E.  Watson  of  Georgia  for 
Vice-President.    The  Populist  and  Silveritcs  that  year 


gave  Bryan  245,728  votes,  and  the  Republican  ticket, 
had  a  majority  of  the  electoral  and  popular  votes. 

The  Democratic  Convention  in  1900  met  at  Kansas 
City  on  July  4,  and  unanimously  renominated  William  J. 
Bryan  for  President  and  ex-Vice-President  Adlai  E. 
Stevenson  of  Illinois  for  Vice-President.  The  Demo- 
cratic platform  again  declared  for  bi-metalism  and  also 
favored  direct  election  of  Senators  by  the  people.  In 
the  meantime  Spanish-American  War  had  been  fought, 
and  the  Democratic  platform  denounced  what  it  called 
Republican  Imperialism  with  respect  to  the  Philippines 
and  Porto  Rico.  The  Republican  Convention  of  1900 
met  at  Philadelphia  on  June  19  and  unanimously  re- 
nominated President  McKinley  for  President  and 
Theodore  Roosevelt  of  New  York  for  Vice-President. 
The  1896  campaign  was  waged  over  again  with  a  similar 
result.  President  McKinley  was  shot  on  September  6, 
1901,  at  the  Pan-American  Exposition,  Buffalo,  N.  Y., 
and  died  September  14,  Theodore  Roosevelt  succeeding 
to  the  presidency. 

The  Democratic  Convention  of  1904  was  held  at  St. 
Louis,  beginning  July  7,  and  nominated  for  President 
Alton  B.  Parker  of  New  York,  Chief  Judge  of  the  State 
Court  of  Appeals,  and  for  Vice-President  ex-United 
States  Senator  Henry  Gassaway  Davis  of  West  Vir- 
ginia. Although  the  platform  was  silent  on  the  money 
question,  Judge  Parker  sent  a  telegram  to  William  F. 
Sheehan.  his  representative  at  the  convention,  declaring 
that  he  regarded  the  gold  standard  as  firmly  and 
irrevocably  established.  The  Republican  Convention 
of  1904  met  at  Chicago  on  June  22,  and  nominated 
President  Theodore  Roosevelt  for  President  by  acclama- 
tion, and  United  States  Senator  Charles  W.  Fairbanks 
of  Indiana  for  Vice-President. 

Roosevelt  to  the  Fore 

Prior  to  his  nomination  President  Roosevelt  had 
waged  an  aggressive  campaign  for  the  nomination  and 
had  practically  eliminated  all  competitors.  One  event 
which  contributed  largely  to  the  Democratic  defeat 
that  year  was  a  question  put  out  in  the  closing  days  of 
the  campaign  by  Judge  Parker  concerning  an  alleged 
large  sum  of  money  raised  in  Wall  Street  in  behalf  of 
Col.  Roosevelt's  election.  Col.  Roosevelt  made  an 
emphatic  denial  and  accused  Judge  Parker  of  lying. 
It  was  too  late  in  the  campaign  for  Judge  Parker  to 
present  an  effective  reply.  But  some  time  after  the 
election  a  letter  from  Edward  H.  Harriman,  one  of 
the  rulers  of  Wall  Street,  was  made  public  in  which 
it  was  stated  that  he,  Harriman,  had  raised  $240,000 
in  Wall  Street  for  the  Republican  campaign  fund. 
Roosevelt  and  Fairbanks  were  elected,  having  more  than 
two  and  a  half  million  plurality  of  the  popular  vote. 

Tn  1908  the  Democratic  National  Convention  met  at 
Denver  on  July  7  and  again  nominated  William  J.  Bryan 
for  President  and  John  W.  Kern  of  Indiana  for  Vice- 
President.    The  Republican  Convention  of  1908  met  at 


Chicago  on  June  16  and  nominated  Secretary  of  War 
William  H.  Taft  of  Ohio  for  President  on  the  first 
ballot  and  Congressman  James  S.  Sherman  of  New 
York  for  Vice-President.  President  Roosevelt  was 
credited  with  having  brought  about  the  nomination  of 
Mr.  Taft,  and  the  Democratic  platform  charged  that  he 
had  used  patronage  to  secure  that  result.  The  Demo- 
cratic platform  that  year  declared  for  a  United  States 
Department  of  Labor,  an  income  tax  and  a  merchant 
marine. 

Taft  and  Sherman  were  elected,  although  Bryan  re- 
ceived more  votes  than  he  had  in  1900. 

Republicans  Meet  Trouble 

The  year  1912  was  a  stormv  and  disastrous  one  for 
the  Republican  party.  Ex-President  Roosevelt,  who 
was  credited  with  having  put  Mr.  Taft  in  the  White 
House,  became  dissatisfied  with  the  administration  of 
his  protege,  and  at  the  Republican  National  Convention, 
which  met  that  year  at  Chicago,  June  18,  led  a  revolt 
after  President  Taft  had  been  renominated  on  the  first 
ballot.  Vice-President  Sherman  also  received  a  re- 
nomination,  but  died  October  30,  and  Nicholas  Murray 
Butler  of  New  York,  President  of  Columbia  University, 
was  substituted  and  received  the  vice-presidential 
electoral  vote  cast  that  year. 

On  the  one  ballot  taken,  344  delegates,  who  called 
themselves  progressives,  did  not  vote.  Following  the 
revolt  of  the  anti-Taft  delegates,  a  so-called  Progressive 
Republican  Convention  was  held  at  Chicago  on  August 
5  and  unanimouslv  nominated  ex-President  Theodore 
Roosevelt  for  President  and  Governor  Hiram  W.  John- 
son of  California  for  Vice-President. 

Woodrow  Wilson  Wins 

The  Democratic  Convention  of  1912  met  at  Baltimore 
on  June  25,  with  Champ  Clark,  Speaker  of  the  House 
of  Representatives,  as  the  leading  candidate.  Speaker 
Clark  obtained  the  votes  of  a  majority  of  the  delegates, 
but  fell  short  of  the  two-thirds  necessary  to  nominate 
in  the  Democratic  Convention.  His  opponent  was 
Woodrow  Wilson,  Governor  of  New  Jersey,  and  former 
President  of  Princeton  University.  Governor  Wilson 
was  nominated  on  the  forty-sixth  ballot.  The  platform 
that  year  demanded  presidential  primaries  and  a  single 
term  for  President.  Thomas  R.  Marshall,  Governor 
of  Indiana,  was  nominated  for  Vice-President. 

The  Progressive  party  that  year  became  known  as 
the  Bull  Moose  party,  from  a  remark  made  by  Col. 
Roosevelt,  who  when  asked  how  he  felt,  replied  that  he 
felt  "like  a  Bull  Moose."  The  campaign  was  a  hotly 
contested  one,  and  speech-making  tours  were  made  by 
all  the  candidates. 

Wilson  received  435  electoral  votes,  Roosevelt  88  and 
Taft  8,  the  latter  from  Utah  and  Vermont. 

When  the  Democratic  Convention  of  1916  met  at  St. 
Louis  on  June  14,  the  World  War  had  been  waging 


nearly  two  years.  President  Wilson,  by  a  declaration 
of  neutrality  and  the  exercise  of  every  diplomatic  means, 
had  kept  the  United  States  from  becoming  a  partici- 
pant. President  Wilson  and  Vice-President  Marshall 
were  renominated  by  acclamation.  It  is  interesting  to 
note  that  President  Wilson  regarded  the  number  13  as 
his  lucky  number,  and  in  the  Democratic  Convention  of 
1916  there  were  thirteen  women  delegates.  Platform 
features  of  the  Democratic  party  in  1916  were  for  an 
army  adequate  for  order,  safety,  and  defense,  with  an 
adequate  citizens'  reserve,  and  for  self-determination 
of  small  nations.  The  platform  also  favored  "the  ex- 
tension of  the  franchise  to  the  women  of  this  country, 
state  by  state,  on  the  same  terms  as  to  men." 

The  Republican  Convention  of  1916  met  at  Chicago 
on  June  7  and  was  presided  over  bv  United  States 
Senator  Warren  G.  Harding  of  Ohio,  who  was  to  be 
the  successful  nominee  of  the  party  at  the  next  con- 
vention. United  States  Supreme  Court  Justice  Charles 
E.  Hughes  of  New  York  was  nominated  for  President 
and  former  Vice-President  Charles  W.  Fairbanks  was 
nominated  for  Vice-President.  Mr.  Justice  Hughes 
later  resigned  from  the  Supreme  Court  to  accept  the 
presidential  nomination,  the  first  instance  of  the  kind 
in  the  history  of  the  country.  There  were  two  women 
delegates  in  the  Republican  Convention. 

Re-election  of  Wilson 

The  Progressive  ("Bull  Moose")  Convention  met  at 
Chicago  on  June  7,  with  626  delegates,  33  of  whom  were 
women,  and  attempted  to  induce  the  Republicans  to 
agree  to  joint  nominations.  Failing  in  this,  the  con- 
vention nominated  Roosevelt  for  President  and  John 
M.  Parker  of  Louisiana  for  Vice-President.  These 
nominations  were  made  four  minutes  before  Mr.  Jus- 
tice Hughes  was  nominated  in  the  Republican  Conven- 
tion. Col.  Roosevelt,  however,  after  more  than  two 
weeks'  consideration,  declined  the  nomination  and  ad- 
vised his  following  to  support  Mr.  Hughes. 

The  Democratic  slogan  that  year,  which  won  President 
Wilson  man}-  votes  was  "He  kept  us  out  of  war." 

The  sensational  event  of  the  election  was  the  prema- 
ture announcement  through  the  press  of  the  country 
that  Mr.  Hughes  had  been  elected.  This  announcement 
was  based  on  incomplete  returns,  those  from  the  West 
coming  in  slowly.  For  several  days  the  election  was  in 
doubt  until  it  became  known  that  the  vote  nf  California 
had  been  cast  for  Wilson,  which  insured  his  election. 

Although  President  Wilson  had  used  every  honorable 
means  to  preserve  neutrality  and  keep  the  United  States 
out  of  the  World  War.  the  sinking  of  the  Lusitania  in 
May,  1915,  by  a  German  submarine  had  stirred  the  war 
feeling  of  the  country,  and  by  some,  including  Republi- 
cans, the  President  was  criticised  for  not  entering  the 
war  at  that  time.  The  unrestricted  use  of  the  submarine 
by  Germany  finally  brought  about  a  declaration  of 


war  on  the  part  of  the  United  States  on  April  6,  1917, 
one  month  and  two  days  after  President  Wilson  began 
his  second  term.  The  Democratic  National  Conven- 
tion of  1920  met  in  San  Francisco  on  June  28.  It  was 
prolonged  until  July  5  when  Governor  James  M.  Cox 
of  Ohio  was  nominated  on  the  44th  ballot.  The  follow- 
ing day  Assistant  Secretary  of  the  Navy  Franklin  D. 
Roosevelt  of  New  York  was  nominated  for  Vice- 
President.  This  was  the  longest  convention  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  party. 

The  Republican  Convention  of  1920  met  at  Chicago 
on  June  8,  and  on  the  tenth  ballot  nominated  United 
States  Senator  Warren  G.  Harding  of  Ohio  for  Presi- 
dent and  Governor  Calvin  Coolidge  of  Massachusetts  for 
Vice-President. 

The  campaign  turned  upon  the  issue  of  the  covenant 
of  the  League  of  Nations,  which  was  Part  1  of  the 


Treaty  of  Versailles — the  peace  treaty  of  the  World  War 
—which  President  Wilson  had  negotiated.  The  Republi- 
cans controlled  the  Senate  Foreign  Relations  Committee, 
and  also  controlled  the  Senate  by  one  vote,  resulting  in 
the  failure  of  the  Senate  to  ratify  the  treaty  except  with 
reservations  unacceptable  to  the  Democrats. 

Governor  Cox,  the  Democratic  nominee,  made  a  tour 
of  the  country,  and  Senator  Harding,  following  the 
example  set  by  William  McKinley  in  1896,  made  what  is 
known  as  a  "Front  Porch  Campaign,"  speaking  from  the 
porch  of  his  residence  at  Marion,  Ohio.  Harding's 
majority  was  upward  of  seven  millions,  the  largest  ever 
given  a  presidential  candidate. 

President  Harding  died  in  office  at  San  Francisco  on 
August  2,  1923,  and  was  succeeded  by  Vice-President 
Coolidge,  who  was  sworn  in  by  his  father,  a  Justice  of 
the  Peace,  at  his  father's  home  in  Vermont. 


J\[ew  Tor\ — The  Wonder  City 


QEW  YORK  is  at  once  the  most  magical  and 
the  most  misunderstood  city  in  the  world. 
It  is  probably  more  worshipped,  feared, 
praised,  slandered,  loved  and  hated  than  any 
other  city  of  all  time.  Superlative  in  size  and  variety,  it 
continually  evokes  superlatives.  Nobody  talks  about  it 
moderately  and  nobody  feels  about  it  moderately.  Its 
virtues  and  vices,  its  dangers  and  allurements,  its  power 
and  its  weakness  are  alike  exaggerated. 

If  only  for  this  reason  New  York  might  be  called  the 
most  characteristically  American  of  all  cities.  Yet  it  has 
become  a  habit  to  refer  to  New  York  as  un-American. 
Visiting  foreigners  are  invariably  told  that  if  they  want 
to  know  America  they  must  discount  New  York,  because 
New  York  does  not  represent  the  real  America.  And 
when  people  in  other  cities  of  the  United  States  read 
about  vice  and  crime  in  New  York,  they  console  them- 
selves with  the  reflection  that  New  York  does  not  repre- 
sent the  real  America. 

But,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  New  York  is  the  most 
thoroughly  representative  of  all  American  cities,  because 
it  represents  every  element  in  American  life.  To  begin 
with,  it  is  a  colossal  monument  to  American  energy, 
ambition,  initiative,  enterprise  and  inventive  genius.  It 
has  been  built  by  these  qualities,  and  the  men  who  have 
built  it  have  been  drawn  from  every  section  and  every 
walk  of  life  in  America.  Among  the  makers  of  New 
York  from  its  earliest  days  there  have  been  comparatively 
few  who  were  born  here.  They  have  come  from  New 
England  and  the  South,  from  the  Middle  Atlantic  States 
and  the  Middle  West,  from  the  Northwest  and  the  South- 
west and  the  Pacific  Coast  to  give  their  genius  and 
strength  and  ambition  to  the  creation  of  this  great 
metropolis. 

The  City  of  All  Americans 

And  it  is  the  same  kind  of  people  who  are  managing 
and  developing  the  New  York  of  to-day.  It  is  a  familiar 
jest  that  one  seldom  meets  a  born  New  Yorker,  and  in 
sober  fact  one  seldom  does.  For  most  of  our  typical  New 
Yorkers — and  especially  those  who  hold  leadership  in 
business  and  industry  and  the  professions — have  come 
from  the  smaller  cities  and  towns  and  villages  and  farms 
all  over  the  country.  If  the  population  of  the  city 
includes  a  substantial  percentage  of  people  of  foreign 
birth  and  descent,  this  also  is  characteristically  American. 

Because  it  has  been  built  by  people  from  every  part  of 
the  country,  because  its  population  includes  a  large  pro- 
portion of  people  who  were  born  elsewhere,  New  York  is 
perhaps  the  least  sectional  of  American  cities.    It  does 


not  belong  to  any  one  section  of  the  country.  It  belongs 
to  the  entire  nation.  It  is  the  nation's  metropolis,  the 
symbol  of  America's  energy,  wealth  and  power.  And 
the  citizen  of  the  smallest  town  or  hamlet  has  a  right  to 
feel  as  much  share  in  it  and  as  much  pride  in  it  as  the 
native  New  Yorker.  It  is  his  city — the  city  of  every 
American. 

There  exists  throughout  the  country  a  certain  distrust 
of  New  York,  a  certain  feeling  of  alienation  from  New 
York,  which  is  entirely  unwarranted.  New  York  is  a 
very  friendly  city.  It  welcomes  the  visitor,  it  is  very 
glad  to  have  him,  it  feels  pleased  if  he  likes  it,  it  does  not 
try  to  prey  upon  him.  New  York  is  the  greatest  Mecca 
for  tourists  in  the  world ;  it  receives  more  visitors  daily 
than  any  other  city  in  the  world.  Yet,  unlike  most  other 
tourist  centers,  it  never  tries  to  make  visitors  pay  more 
than  its  own  residents.  On  the  contrary,  it  tries  in  mam- 
ways  to  make  things  cheaper  for  them.  The  New  York 
hotels,  for  example,  never  raise  their  rates,  no  matter  how 
crowded  they  are,  and  very  often  make  concessions  to 
conventions  and  visiting  parties. 

A  City  of  Superlatives 

The  trouble  is  that  although  New  York  welcomes 
visitors,  tries  to  make  them  feel  at  home,  and  offers  them 
every  possible  facility  for  enjoyment  and  profit,  it  has 
not  yet  found  a  way  to  let  all  the  people  of  the  country 
know  these  things.  It  is  so  enormous,  it  includes  such 
a  multitude  of  different  interests  and  activities,  it  is  so 
terrifically  busy  with  its  own  affairs,  that  it  cannot  organ- 
ize to  speak  for  itself  as  easily  as  smaller  communities 
can.  Also  it  is  too  much  disposed  to  feel  that  everybody 
outside  New  York  knows  all  about  it  and  doesn't  need  to 
be  told.  And  finally  it  feels  that  a  city  so  full  of  marvels 
could  not  tell  all  about  itself  without  sounding  extrava- 
gantly boastful. 

There  is  something  to  be  said  for  this  feeling,  since 
it  is  impossible  to  tell  the  truth  about  what  New  York  is 
and  has  to  offer  without  using  superlatives  in  almost 
every  sentence.  For  example,  New  York  is  the  largest 
city  in  the  world.  It  is  the  world's  greatest  seaport,  its 
incoming  and  outgoing  tonnage  amounting  to  about 
40,000,000  annually.  It  receives  more  visitors  annual!} 
than  any  other  city  in  the  world.  Its  street  railways 
carry  more  passengers  daily  than  any  other  railway  sys- 
tem in  the  world.  It  is  the  greatest  industrial  city  in  the 
world.  Its  factories  employ  more  workers  than  any  other 
two  cities  in  the  United  States  combined.  It  has  more 
hotels,  theatres  and  other  recreational  facilities  than  any 
other  city  in  the  world.  And  so  forth.  The  list  is  almost 
inexhaustible. 


NEW  YORK'S  magnificent  Municipal  Building,  in  the  back- 
ground, ranks  among  the  world's  finest  structures.  It  rises  24 
stories  above  historic  Park  Row  and  has  an  area  of  16  acres  in 
floor  space.  Thirty  city  departments  are  housed  within  its  walls. 
The  City  Hall,  in  the  foreground,  was  finished  in  181 2  and  remains 
one  of  the  most  perfect  examples  of  Colonial  architecture.  The 
Mayor  and  other  prominent  city  officials  have  their  offices  in  City  Hall. 


COURTESY  OF 

SCHULTE  CIGAR  STORES 


Some  Eloquent  Figures 

A  few  figures  picked  at  random  from  the  city's  statis- 
tics may  serve  to  suggest  the  enormous  scale  of  its 
activities.  It  has  578  miles  of  water  frontage,  of  which 
106  miles  have  been  developed  for  commercial  purposes. 
It  has  187  parks,  118  public  playgrounds  and  13  free 
beaches.  It  has  over  30  independent  post  offices.  It  has 
nearly  2,000  miles  of  car  tracks,  and  moves  about  7,000,- 
000  people  a  day  on  a  five-cent  fare..  In  addition  its  bus 
lines  carry  over  250,000  passengers  daily.  Over  300,- 
000,000  people  enter  it  every  year  by  rail  and  ferry. 
It  entertains  about  46,000,000  visitors  every  year — which 
is  considerably  more  than  the  population  of  Great  Britain 
or  France.  It  would  take  11,207  ships  the  size  of  the 
Majestic  to  move  all  these  people  in  one  trip. 

New  York  has  749  playhouses  and  moving  picture 
theatres,  with  a  seating  capacity  of  about  730,000 — more 
than  the  entire  population  of  Pittsburgh.  It  has  over 
1,500  church  edifices,  with  nearly  2,000,000  communi- 
cants. It  has  over  1,000,000  pupils  registered  in  its  632 
schools,  and  employs  over  30,000  public  school  teachers. 
It  has  over  100  hospitals  caring  for  about  22,000  patients. 
Its  population  increases  sufficiently  every  four  years 
to  make  a  city  the  size  of  Boston  or  St.  Louis.  It  is 
practically  the  termination  of  every  American  railroad. 
It  erects  a  new  building  every  fifty  minutes.  It  receives 
a  new  baby  every  four  minutes.  It  does  about  75  per 
cent  of  the  country's  total  foreign  commerce.  It  can  be 
reached  in  sleeping  or  parlor  car  without  transfer  from 
about  80  per  cent  of  all  cities  in  the  United  States  and 
Canada.  It  has  direct  steamship  communication  with  90 
per  cent  of  all  ports  in  Europe,  the  Mediterranean,  the 
Atlantic  Coast,  and  North,  South  and  Central  America 
and  tributary  rivers,  besides  the  main  ports  of  the 
Pacific. 

An  Undeserved  Reputation 

Needless  to  say  New  York  is  one  of  the  world's  great- 
est playgrounds,  providing  every  imaginable  form  of 
recreation  and  amusement  for  the  visitor.  In  this  respect 
it  has  gained  a  certain  sort  of  reputation  that  is  entirely 
undeserved.  Despite  all  that  has  been  said  and  written 
to  the  contrary,  New  York  is  morally  one  of  the  cleanest 
cities  in  the  world,  and  the  great  majority  of  its  theatres, 
cabarets,  dance  halls  and  other  places  of  amusement  are 
above  reproach  in  this  respect.  There  are  places  in  New 
York  which  are  not  above  reproach ;  but  there  are  similar 
places  in  all  other  cities,  even  in  very  small  cities,  and 
proportionately  they  are  no  worse  nor  more  numerous  in 
New  York  than  elsewhere. 

The  charge  that  New  York  is  an  immoral  city  is  One 
of  the  most  wickedly  unfair  and  untrue  charges  that 
could  be  made  against  it.  No  doubt  the  frequency  of 
this  charge  is  due  to  the  fact,  already  mentioned,  that 
everything  about  New  York  is  exaggerated.  If  there  is 
a  murder  or  a  hold-up  or  a  scandal  of  any  sort  in  New 
York,  it  is  bruited  abroad  in  headlines,  and  thoughtless 


or  malicious  people  point  to  it  as  a  typical  example  of 
the  wickedness  of  New  York,  forgetting  that  such  things 
occur  in  other  cities,  and  that  in  a  community  of  over 
6,000,000  people  there  is  naturally  more  of  everything, 
including  vice  and  crime,  than  in  smaller  communities — 
forgetting  also  the  fact  that  millions  of  people,  men  and 
women,  live  in  New  York  through  the  whole  course  of 
their  lives  without  being  once  molested  either  in  person 
or  property. 

Its  Intellectual  Activities 

The  positive,  moral,  constructive  side  of  New  York 
life  is  seldom  talked  about.  One  hears  little  of  its  home 
life,  which  for  the  most  part  is  simple  and  hospitable. 
One  hears  little  of  its  innumerable  educational  and  civic 
institutions,  art  galleries,  museums,  libraries,  and  other 
.provisions  for  improving  the  intellectual  and  spiritual 
life  of  its  people.  It  has  several  great  colleges  and  uni- 
versities, and  the  variety  of  free  lectures  and  concerts 
given  by  the  city  probably  exceeds  that  offered  by  any 
other  city  in  the  world.  In  addition  there  is  usually  free 
admission  to  lectures  and  exhibitions  in  all  museums  and 
public  institutions. 

Apart  from  these  public  institutions,  private  enterprise 
has  provided  a  wealth  of  educational  facilities  in  the  way 
of  concerts,  opera,  art  exhibitions  and  so  forth.  Fifth 
Avenue  and  the  side  streets  leading  off  it  constitute  in 
themselves  a  sort  of  educational  museum,  containing  not 
only  the  flowers  of  contemporary  art  but  the  flowers  of 
contemporary  industry.  For  New  York  is,  among  other 
things,  the  world's  great  show  window,  where  contem- 
porary fashion  exhibits  itself  iu  all  its  manifestations.  It 
is  becoming  more  and  more  a  creator  of  fashion,  and  it 
is  becoming  more  and  more  the  one  great  center  in  which 
creators  of  fashion  from  all  over  the  world  display  their 
products.  And  for  this  reason,  among  many  other 
reasons,  New  York  is  the  world's  greatest  market. 

Supreme  in  Commerce  and  Industry 

It  has  been  already  mentioned  that  New  York  is  the 
greatest  port  in  the  world,  that  it  runs  steamship  lines 
direct  to  every  part  of  the  known  world  and  has  transpor- 
tation facilities  direct  to  every  section  of  the  United 
States.  New  York  consequently  is  the  natural  channel 
through  which  the  bulk  of  the  country's  commerce  flows, 
and  this  alone  would  be  enough  to  make  it  the  country's 
greatest  market.  But  in  addition  it  is  the  greatest  indus- 
trial city  in  the  world. 

One-tenth  of  all  the  manufactured  goods  made  in  the 
United  States  are  produced  in  New  York  City,  and  one- 
seventh  are  produced  in  the  New  York  industrial  district. 
Its  factories  employ  more  workers  than  the  factories  of 
Chicago  and  Philadelphia  combined,  and  its  output  of 
manufactured  goods  is  greater  than  the  combined  output 
of  Pittsburgh,  Cleveland,  Cincinnati,  St.  Louis,  Detroit, 
Boston,  Milwaukee  and  Buffalo.  It  is  the  greatest  of  all 
importing  markets,  and  practically  all  important  foreign 
manufacturers  have  branches  or  representatives  in  New 


Battery  'Tark,  New  York  City 


HERE,  at  the  tip  of  Manhattan  Island,  memories  cluster  thickest,  for  this 
ground  has  been  the  scene  of  some  of  the  richest  experiences  in  New  York's 
eventful  history.    Surely  no  other  single  spot  in  the  world  is  so  deeply 
etched  in  the  minds  of  living  men,  for  here  millions  of  voyagers  to  the  New  World 
have  first  set  foot  on  the  American  continent. 

Here,  too,  inland  visitors  will  best  realize  that  New  York  is  a  port.  Leaning 
on  the  seawall  one  can  see  shipping  from  every  corner  of  the  world.  Big  liners  turn 
majestically  to  sea.  Pleasure  boats  go  bobbing  by.  Coastwise  traffic  turns  from 
the  harbor  and  passes  up  the  East  River  bound  for  Long  Island  Sound.  It  is  a 
scene  of  endless  fascination.  And  turning  round  one  gazes  up  the  brick-walled 
canyon  of  Broadway.    Or  notes  historic  Castle  Garden,  now  housing  the  Aquarium. 

There  is  no  more  diverting  quarter  in  the  entire  metropolis,  and  none  which 
presents  a  more  dramatic  contrast  between  the  old  days  and  the  new.

York.  It  contains  the  main  selling  office  of  the  majority 
of  important  domestic  manufacturers.  It  is  the  great 
money  market  of  the  country,  and,  with  the  possible 
exception  of  London,  the  greatest  money  market  in  the 
world.  It  is  the  great  raw  cotton  market,  the  bulk  of 
the  dealings  in  American  cotton  being  done  on  its  Ex-

the  wholesale  market  par  excellence  for  every  kind  of  dry 
goods,  apparel  and  dress  accessories.    And  so  on.  In 


dozens  of  different  directions  it  manifests  its  industrial, 
commercial  and  financial  supremacy.

volumes.  But  the  necessarily  brief  and  incomplete 
account  presented  here  may  serve  to  give  you  a  general 
idea  of  this  great  metropolis,  which  is  your  city,  the  city 
of  every  American.

tion. It  is  estimated  that  the  city  has  increased  in 
population  by  2,657,093  during  the  last  twenty-five 
years.  About  38  per  cent  of  this  increase  is  credited

About  4,500  foreign  vessels  and  an  equal  number  of 
coastwise  vessels  enter  New  York  harbor  every  year. 
Floats  plying  around  the  harbor  transport  daily  be- 
tween 1,500  and  2,000  railroad  cars.  One  railroad  alone 
boasted  last  year  of  having  brought  into  the  city  36,000 
cars  of  perishable  goods. 

New  York  has  440  privately  owned  and  240  munici- 
pally owned  piers.  The  city  spends  annually  about 
$1,200,000  on  its  piers  and  docks,  and  has  already  spent 
a  total  of  about  $130,000,000  on  them.  Income  from 
the  municipal  piers  and  docks  last  year  amounted  to 
over  $7,000,000. 

A  Royal  Employer

or  over  $1,000,000  a  day.  Its  employees  number 
94,000,  of  which  all  but  2  per  cent  are  in  the  civil 
service  class.  Two-thirds  of  them  are  engaged  in  de- 
partments which  come  directly  under  the  control  of  the 
Mayor. 

The  annual  turnover  of  money  by  the  municipal  gov- 
ernment, coming  and  going,  has  been  computed  by  the 
city  comptroller  as  $2,000,000,000. 

The  municipality  owns  2,816  buildings,  in  which  are 
housed  seventeen  departments. 

It  owns  a  boardwalk  at  Coney  Island  measuring

started  the  construction  of  a  five-mile  boardwalk  at 
Rockaway. 


It  has  a  police  department  of  13,450  men,  with  a

street  car  lines.  The  total  number  of  passengers  car- 
ried on  subway  and  elevated  lines  last  year  was  1,506,- 
076,001,  while  the  surface  lines  carried  1,071,736,844. 
Bus  lines  carried  over  92,000,000  passengers  during  the 
year. 

It  is  possible  to  enjoy  a  continuous  ride  of  27.8  miles

Some  Fancy  Figures 

The  New  York  telephone  system  includes  118  central 
stations,  5,500,000  miles  of  telephone  wire  and  1,150,- 
000  telephone  instruments.  It  employs  35,000  persons 
and  puts  through  an  average  of  more  than  4,300,000 
telephone  calls  every  day. 

New  York  has  ten  public  markets  and  fifty -three 
open-air  or  street  markets,  all  supervised  by  the  De- 
partment of  Markets. 

It  consumes  daily  about  $4,000,000  wcrth  of  food 
and  about  3,000,000  quarts  of  milk.

Authentic  mortality  statistics  prove  New  York  to  be 
the  healthiest  city  in  the  world.  Its  death  rate  in  1922 
was  12.9  per  1,000,  as  compared  with  16.8  for  London, 
16.3  for  Pittsburgh,  15.52  for  Paris,  15.5  for  Boston, 
14.5  for  Philadelphia,  14.1  for  St.  Louis  and  13.48  for

American  ^Museum  of  T^acum!  History 


IN  the  course  of  a  few  hours  the  visitor  to  New  York 
can,  in  effect,  take  a  trip  around  the  world  by  seeing 
the  American  Museum  of  Natural  History  at  77  th 
Street  and  Central  Park  West.  Here  one  can  review  the 
world  and  its  wonders.  The  curious  people  that  inhabit 
its  remote  corners,  the  birds  of  the  air,  beasts  of  the  jungle, 
and  the  monsters  of  the  deep  are  strikingly  reproduced 
here  as  they  appear  in  their  native  habitat.  The  collec- 
tions, many  of  them  the  finest  and  most  complete  in  the 
world,  are  a  credit  to  American  science  and  represent  a 
value  of  millions  of  dollars.

A SURVEY  of  the  industrial  activities  of  New  York 
places  the  city  beyond  any  question  in  the  front 
rank  not  only  of  this  country  but  of  the  world.  The 
latest  figures  compiled  show  that  in  foodstuffs  and  retail 
dry  goods  alone  there  is  an  annual  turnover  of  more 
than  $1,500,000,000. 

The  headquarters  for  many  industries.  New  York  City 
does  its  greatest  business  in  women's  clothing,  closely 
followed  by  men's  apparel.  Figures  show  that  the 
value  of  women's  clothing  annually  manufactured  in 
this  city  is  close  to  $900,000,000,  while  the  value  of  men's 
clothing  manufactured  is  about  $500,000,000.  Next  in 
point  of  value  is  printing  and  publishing,  with  meat 
packing  and  slaughtering  fourth.  Then  come,  in  the

New  York  City  has  justifiably  been  referred  to  as  the 
financial  center  of  the  world.   The  greatest  banking  insti- 


tutions are  gathered,  most  of  them  in  a  radius  of  about 
a  half  a  mile,  in  the  lower  section  of  Manhattan.  Some 
New  York  City  institution  must  of  necessity  figure  in  any 
sizeable  financial  deal,  no  matter  what  part  of  the  country 
is  affected,  and  every  foreign  loan  placed  in  the  United 
States  is  negotiated  through  a  New  York  bank. 

The  bank  clearings  in  this  city  in  1923,  according  to 
figures  compiled  by  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank,  amounted 
to  $238,000,000,000,  and  in  the  same  year  the  domestic 
loans  floated  in  New  York  City  amounted  to  $4,670,- 
000.000.  The  foreign  loans  negotiated  and  floated  here 
in  1923  amounted  to  $316,000,000. 

The  number  of  banking  institutions  in  the  city  (not 
counting  the  hundreds  of  branch  organizations)  which 
report  to  the  New  York  State  Banking  Department,  and 
which  cover  the  field  of  national,  state,  trust,  savings  and 
private  banks,  is  260. 

Real  Estate  Transactions 

New  York  City  is  the  greatest  real  estate  market  in 
the  world.  It  has  in  its  five  boroughs  629,486  parcels 
of  real  estate,  with  an  assessed  valuation  of  $10,596,- 
066,348. 

Records  compiled  for  the  year  1923  show  that  there 
were  in  real  property  no  less  than  184.626  conveyances 
recorded,  covering  hotels,  theatres,  homes  and  vacant 
land,  the  assessed  valuation  of  which  is  S2. 437. 756, 405. 
Of  this  number  Manhattan  recorded  16.048.  the  valua- 
tion of  which  is  $1,128,056,405.  Brooklyn  recorded 
54.850  conveyances,  Bronx  15.006  and  Queens  60.722. 
Richmond,  or  Staten  Island,  recorded  38,000. 

To  handle  its  realty  transactions  New  York  employs 
12.200  brokers  and  6.800  real  estate  salesmen. 

A  Mammoth  Auction 

In  no  section  of  the  country  has  the  auction  realty 
field  been  so  cultivated  as  here.  Joseph  P.  Day.  recog- 
nized as  the  leader  in  this  branch,  last  year  sold  about 
$40,000,000  worth  of  property,  involving  30,000  parcels. 
A  record,  in  this  respect,  was  established  by  him  when 
the  famous  Sheepshead  Bay  racetrack,  in  Brooklyn,  was 
sold  in  4.000  lots  for  more  than  $2,500,000,  a  task  that 
covered  six  days  of  steady  bidding. 

Life  insurance  constitutes  another  important  phase 
of  New  York's  business  activities.  A  recently  estab- 
lished research  bureau  compiles  such  figures  as  are 
turned  in  by  the  leading  companies  representing  about 
82  per  cent  of  the  total  life  insurance  written  in  the 
city.  This  percentage  amounted  in  1923  to  $728,- 
010.000.  Insurance  officials,  citing  these  figures  as 
epoch  making,  declare  that  there  was  written  close  to 
$1,000,000,000  in  life  insurance  in  New  York  last' year.

When  Democrats  Met, 
Fifty- six  Years  Ago 


New  Tammany  Hall,  last  word  in  auditoriums,  blazed 
with  light;  New  York  was  packed — when  Governor 
Seymour  was  nominated  to  oppose  General  Grant  for  the 
presidency.  That  was  in  i  868,  the  last  time  that  Democrats 
convened  here,  until  the  present  gathering  in  the  cool,  vast 
spaces  of  Madison  Square  Garden. 

In  those  days,  Lord  &  Taylor  welcomed  the  delegates 
in  a  five  story  building  at  Broadway  and  Grand  Street. 
It  delighted  the  visitors  with  its  size,  wealth  of  merchan-

AS  a  seaport  New  York  stands  in  a  class  by  itself. 
Other  ports  have,  from  time  to  time,  attempted  to 
minimize  its  importance ;  but  figures  do  not  lie.  Other 
ports  have  tried  in  vain  to  snare  from  the  New  York 
harbor  its  shipping  supremacy,  its  potency  as  the  strong- 
est magnet  for  ships  on  this  side  of  the  Atlantic. 

An  idea  of  what  New  York  means  in  the  shipping 
world  may  be  gleaned  from  the  statement  that  between 
9  a.  m.  and  5  p.  m.  every  day  a  vessel  arrives  in  this 
harbor  every  38  minutes  and  departs  every  36  minutes. 

Entering  New  York  harbor  last  year  were  5351 
vessels  of  20,968,617  net  tons.  Of  these  1549  were 
American,  3061  foreign,  and  741  entered  New  York 
after  having  first  touched  another  port  in  this  country, 
being  classed  as  "via"  entrants. 

The  total  of  entered  tonnage  for  the  entire  nation  in 
1923  was  66,326,387,  and  New  York  city,  having 
received  about  18,000,000  tons  in  direct  entrance  (not 
including  any  "via"  tonnage),  thus  led  with  about  28 
per  cent. 

Eloquent  Statistics 

Similar  figures  prevail  in  the  clearances.  The  total 
direct  clearance  from  this  country  in  1923  was  66,623,- 
714  net  tons,  and  New  York's  share  of  this  was  16  per 
cent.  New  York  city  cleared  direct  from  this  port 
4787  vessels,  of  which  1760  were  American.  The  total 
net  tonnage  was  18.828,831,  and  to  this  must  be  added 
927  vessels  of  3,594,291  tons,  which  cleared  from  New 
York  but  by  way  of  another  domestic  port. 

Figures  officially  compiled  show  that  the  total  value 
of  commodities  exported  from  New  York  last  year  was 
$1,518,891,018,  or  36  per  cent  of  the  nation's  total  of 
$4,167,946,321.  Of  the  nation's  total  imports  of 
$4,791,938,013,  New  York  handled  $1,797,962,594,  or 
38  per  cent. 

No  less  eloquent  are  the  figures  in  regard  to  duties 
collected.  Last  year  this  port  collected  $322,274,297.99 
in  duties,  while  the  nation's  total  was  $568,174,377.39. 
In  other  words  New  York  city  collected  more  than  fifty 
per  cent,  of  the  duties  for  Uncle  Sam. 

Coastwise  traffic  is  a  big  item  in  New  York  harbor 
activities,  showing  for  1923  entrance  of  3986  vessels  of 
11,513,741  tons  and  clearance  of  3409  vessels  of 
10.264.553  tons.  These  figures  are  below  actual  activi- 
ties because  many  vessels  are  permitted  to  trade  without 
reporting  their  movements  at  the  Custom  House. 


Figures  recently  compiled  show  that  the  trunk  rail- 
roads coming  into  New  York  brought  to  this  city  in 
both-way  traffic  no  less  than  227,301,338  persons  in 
one  year.  In  addition  the  McAdoo  tubes,  coming  from 
Jersey,  and  bringing  some  of  the  railroad  business, 
transported  more  than  37,291,763  passengers.  Thus 
the  number  of  passengers  coming  into  New  York  by 
railroad  was  264,593,106. 

The  ferries  docking  in  New  York  handled  51,131,702 
persons,  so  that  the  total  of  passengers  carried  into  New 
York  by  rail  and  ferry  was  315.724,808. 

Ever  Increasing  Traffic 

The  Long  Island  Railroad,  with  its  enormous  com- 
muting traffic,  heads  the  roads  entering  New  York,  with 
86,166.896  passengers  in  1923.  Of  this  number  53  per 
cent,  were  commuters.  The  1921  and  1922  figures  of 
the  trunk  lines  into  New  York  indicating  the  great 
increase  every  year,  are  given  in  the  following  table :

In  view  of  so  much  recent  discussion  about  immigra- 
tion and  quotas,  it  is  interesting  to  note  that  official 
figures  show  that  two-thirds  of  the  immigrants  landing 
in  this  country  enter  by  way  of  New  York  harbor. 
Just  how  many  of  these  immigrants  stay  in  or 
around  New  York  permanently  has  never  been  accu- 
rately figured,  but  it  is  a  considerable  proportion,  and 
accounts,  in  large  measure,  for  the  fact  that  this  city 
has  so  big  a  foreign  element  to  deal  with  all  the  time. 

The  1923  figures,  compiled  at  Ellis  Island,  where  the 
immigrant  is  admitted,  show  that  477.464  aliens  arrived 
in  New  York  harbor.  First  class  passengers  in  that 
year  numbered  55,244,  second  class  passengers  149.059 
and  third  class  or  steerage  numbered  273,161. 


GRAND  CENTRAL  TERMINAL 

THE  PARK-LEXINGTON,  a  distinguished  new  structure 
for  executive  office  tenancy,  and  the  Grand  Central  Palace, 
America's  greatest  exposition  building — the  one  largest 
office  unit  in  New  York's  uptown  Wall   Street  section — the 
achievement  of  Robert  M.  Catts. 


These  magnificent  structures,  connecting  by  ornamental  arcade, 
form  a  distinguished  contribution  to  New  York's  social,  bustness 
and  transportation  center. 

The  exclusive  Park  Avenue  residential  section  and  a  score  of 
palatial  hotels  are  near  at  hand  for  the  pleasure  and  convenience 
of  the  eight  million  people  from  all  over  the  world  who  annually 
visit  The  Grand  Central  Palace.

<Bill  of  Fare 


THE  annual  food  bill  of  the  residents  of  New  York- 
City  exceeds  $1,500,000,000  or  over  $4,000,000  per 
clay.  The  food  supply  of  the  city  is  received  from 
twenty-seven  steamship  lines  and  nine  railroads,  and  in 
addition  large  quantities  are  brought  in  by  motor  trucks 
from  within  the  radius  of  one  hundred  miles  or  more. 
Every  state  in  the  union  and  almost  every  country  in 
the  world  contributes  to  the  table  wants  of  New  York. 
Some  idea  of  the  immensity  of  the  problem  may  be  had 
from  the  following  figures: 

10,000  head  of  cattle,  41,350  head  of  sheep,  13,700 
calves,  52,650  hogs  were  killed  in  the  city  on  an  average 
every  week  during  1923.  The  weekly  meat  receipts  in 
1923  were:  live  stock  825  carloads,  dressed  meat  (car- 
casses) 475  carloads,  meat  provisions,  etc.,  56  carloads, 
poultry  (live)  185  carloads  and  poultry  (dressed)  232 
carloads. 

New  York  consumes  more  than  3,000,000  quarts  of 
milk  every  day,  drawn  from  over  forty  thousand  farms. 
These  farms  are  for  the  most  part  located  in  seven  states  : 
New  York,  New  Jersey,  Connecticut,  Vermont,  Massa- 
chusetts, Pennsylvania  and  New  Hampshire,  though  con- 
siderable quantities  come  from  more  distant  points,  in- 
cluding not  a  few  farms  located  over  the  international 
border  line  in  Canada. 

A  Gargantuan  Appetite 

New  York  eats  more  than  1,250,000  loaves  of  bread 
daily,  handled  through  some  185  wholesale  and  4.000 
retail  bakeries  of  the  city,  as  well  as  the  grocery  and  deli- 
catessen stores,  in  addition  to  a  large  number  of  delivery 
wagons  which  every  morning  distribute  bread  directly  to 
the  homes. 

One-fifth  of  the  nine  million  eggs  consumed  daily  in 
New  York  city  come  from  the  state  of  Illinois  ;  Iowa  and 
Indiana  combined  send  another  fifth;  and  New  York, 
Missouri,  Ohio,  California,  Washington,  Minnesota, 
Tennessee,  Kansas,  Pennsylvania  and  New  Jersey  are 
also  among  the  leading  sources  of  supply — being  named 
in  the  order  of  their  shipments  last  year.  Most  of  the 
other  states  also  ship  eggs  into  the  New  York  city  market, 
and  Canada,  Denmark,  China,  Argentina  and  Australia 
contribute  to  the  supply. 

That  the  food  supply  and  the  food  problem  which  con- 
fronts the  Department  of  Public  Markets  of  the  City  is 
not  a  local  one  but  of  interest  to  practically  every  state 
in  the  union  is  well  illustrated  in  the  list  of  states  from 
which  the  city  draws  its  supply  of  foodstuffs.  Take  the 
item  of  butter  as  an  example:  In  addition  to  huge  quan- 
tities supplied  by  dairies  in  New  York  and  nearby  states, 
Minnesota  sent  more  than  84  million  pounds,  Illinois  33 


million  pounds,  Iowa  46  million  pounds,  Nebraska  20 
million  pounds,  Ohio  9  million  pounds,  Wisconsin  1  1 
million  pounds,  Indiana  5  million,  Michigan  over  7  mil- 
lion and  Canada  over  3  million  pounds. 

In  a  like  manner  nearly  every  state  in  the  union  con- 
tributes at  one  time  or  another  during  the  year  large 
quantities  of  its  local  food  commodities  to' help  feed  the 
metropolis. 

The  cheese  eaten  by  New  Yorkers  last  year  weighed 
close  to  50  million  pounds  or  over  4  million  pounds  a 
month ;  and  while  most  of  it  was  produced  in  New  York 
State,  large  quantities  were  shipped  in  from  almost  every 
State  in  the  Union  and  most  of  the  countries  of  Europe. 

Some  Amazing  Figures 

Forty  million  chickens,  turkeys,  geese  and  ducks  come 
into  the  city  market  in  a  year.  More  than  sixty  carloads 
arrive  every  day.  As  in  the  case  of  cattle  a  considerable 
portion  of  the  poultry  is  of  necessity  sent  into  the  city 
alive  to  meet  the  requirements  of  people  who,  for  relig- 
ious or  other  reasons,  insist  upon  having  such  food 
killed  in  a  particular  or  special  manner.  Here  are  just 
a  few  figures  giving  the  average  daily  consumption  of 
some  articles  of  food  which  may  be  comprehensible : 
664,000  pounds  of  butter,  2,093,425  pounds  of  white 
potatoes,  209,562  pounds  of  sweet  potatoes,  1,302,986 
pounds  of  apples,  40,000  bunches  of  bananas,  602,945 
pounds  of  onions,  279,452  pounds  of  cabbages  and  like 
quantities  of  fruits  and  vagetables  variable  with  the 
seasons. 

The  monthly  average  of  groceries  and  canned  goods 
is  about  2,300  carloads,  grain  and  flour  require  9,000 
carloads  and  fish  over  225  carloads. 

The  10,000  freight  cars  which  carry  just  one  week's 
supply  would  make  a  train  over  85  miles  long-,  equal  to  a 
continuous  line  of  cars  stretching  from  New  York  to 
Philadelphia ;  but  when  one  stops  to  realize  that  there 
are  more  than  six  million  people  living  in  the  city,  that 
there  are  350  thousand  visitors  in  the  city  every  day  and 
that  the  million  or  more  who  come  to  the  city  during 
business  hours  from  nearby  points  eat  at  least  one  meal 
in  the  city,  the  fact  that  1,300  or  more  carloads  of 
eatables  enter  the  city  every  day  is  in  a  measure,  at  least, 
understandable. 

Couple  this  with  the  fact  that  the  average  person  eats 
about  one-half  ton  of  foodstuffs  every  year,  that  prac- 
tically little  of  this  food  is  produced  within  the  city  limits 
and  under  present  conditions  food  coming  into  the  city 
has  to  pass  through  several  hands  before  it  reaches  the 
consumer,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  problem  of  food  supply 
and  distribution  is  a  tremendous  one. 


H'dfhington  Square,  Ne-w  York  City 


WASHINGTON  SQUARE  has  for  nearly  a  hundred  years 
been  one  of  New  York's  social  and  cultural  centers. 
Originally  a  marsh  where  the  Dutch  shot  ducks,  this 
section  was  acquired  by  the  city  in  1789  for  a  paupers'  burying 
ground.  But  by  1827  the  changing  and  growing  city  required  its 
use  as  a  park.  In  1830  the  University  of  the  City  of  New  York 
was  built  at  the  east  side.  Handsome  residences,  many  of  which 
still  remain,  soon  surrounded  the  square.  Washington  Arch,  at 
the  north  side,  where  Fifth  Avenue  begins,  was  erected  in  1889 
in  honor  of  the  centennial  anniversary  of  Washington's  inauguration.

^Abounding  Educational  Facilities 


NEW  YORK  abounds  in  educational  facilities  of 
every  kind.  A  considerable  proportion  of  these, 
including  the  public  schools,  some  of  the  institutions  of 
higher  education,  and  most  of  the  libraries  and  museums 
are  maintained  in  whole  or  in  part  by  the  municipality 
and  are  free  to  the  public.  In  addition  a  great  number 
of  schools  and  colleges  are  maintained  by  the  different 
religious  denominations  ;  besides  which  there  are  almost 
innumerable  private  institutions  for  the  study  of  music, 
art.  architecture,  languages,  and  commercial  and  tech- 
nical subjects,  as  well  as  preparatory  and  finishing 
schools  of  all  sorts.  Altogether  the  number  of  educa- 
tional institutions,  public  and  private,  functioning  in 
New  York,  must  total  many  thousands. 

The  Public  School  System 

The  public  school  system  alone  includes  605  schools. 
At  present  72  additional  schools  are  in  course  of  con- 
struction and  about  30  more  are  planned  for  the  present 
year,  which  will  bring  the  total  number  of  public  schools 
in  the  city  up  to  more  than  700.  Of  the  schools  already 
functioning,  564  are  elementary  schools,  23  are  high 
schools,  8  are  compulsory  continuation  schools,  4  are 
vocational  schools,  3  are  training  schools  and  3  are  truant 
schools. 

The  number  of  pupils  in  these  schools,  according  to 
the  latest  registration,  is  951,329.  Of  these,  834,969 
attend  the  elementary  schools,  109,370  the  high  schools, 
2.839  the  training  schools,  4,255  the  vocational  schools 
and  396  the  truant  schools.  The  staff  of  teachers  for 
the  public  schools  at  the  present  time  numbers  28,836. 
The  1924  budget  for  the  Board  of  Education  is 
$97,813,349.57,  and  this  does  not  allow  for  the  new 
buildings  under  construction  and  planned.  Much  has 
been  said  and  written  about  the  scarcity  of  school  accom- 
modation in  New  York  City.  In  answer  to  this  criticism 
the  present  administration  points  out  that  since  1918  it 
has  appropriated  a  total  of  $145,000,000  for  the  con- 
struction of  new  schools. 

Colleges  and  Universities 

Among  the  institutions  for  higher  learning  in  New 
York  City,  the  outstanding  ones  in  point  of  size  are 
Columbia  University,  New  York  University  and  the 
College  of  the  City  of  New  York.  Of  these,  Columbia 
University,  with  a  student  roll  of  11,765  and  a  teaching 
staff  of  1,210,  ranks  among  the  great  universities  of 
the  country.  Its  schools  of  Law,  Medicine.  Education, 
Economics,  Science  and  Journalism  are  widely  known. 
Columbia  was  first  established  in  1754,  and  is  thus 
among  the  oldest  as  well  as  the  largest  of  American 
colleges. 


New  York  University  has  the  enormous  enrollment 
of  14,645  students,  and  the  College  of  the  City  of  New 
York  has  12,884  students.  The  latter  is  supported  by 
the  municipality,  and  its  courses  are  free.  Other  leading 
institutions  of  higher  learning  in  the  city  include  Barnard 
College,  for  women,  with  823  students ;  Manhattan  Col- 
lege, with  700  students,  and  Fordham  University,  with 
636  students.  In  addition  there  is  a  great  number  of 
institutions  devoted  to  general  and  special  education : 
among  which  may  be  mentioned  the  College  of  Mount 
St.  Vincent,  St.  John's  College  in  Brooklyn,  Adelphi 
College  in  Brooklyn,  St.  Francis  College  and  Academv. 
Brooklyn  Law  School  of  St.  Lawrence  University.  Pratt

Theological  Seminary. 

The  Public  Libraries 

The  public  library  system  of  New  York  includes  117 
separate  libraries,  besides  some  sub-branches.  Foremost 
among  these  is  the  great  New  York  Public  Librarv, 
which  is  a  combination  of  the  former  Asto:-,  Lenox  and 
Tilden  libraries.  The  main  building  of  the  New  York 
Public  Library  was  completed  in  1911  at  a  cost  of 
$9,000,000.  Subsequently  Andrew  Carnegie  gave  the 
city  $5,200,000  to  build  libraries,  stipulating  that  the 
municipality  must  donate  the  property  in  each  case.  As 
a  result  the  city  has  erected  thirty-seven  branch  libraries. 
Later  donations  made  for  library  purposes  include 
$3,000,000  from  John  S.  Kennedy,  and  S6.000.000  from 
John  D.  Rockefeller,  Jr.,  Payne  W  hitney  and  Edward 
S.  Harkness.  The  entire  public  library  system  is  owned 
and  operated  by  the  city. 

The  central  building  of  the  New  York  Public  Libran 
has  in  its  reference  department  1 .250.000  books  and  in 
its  circulating  department  1.146,928  books.  More  than 
1,250,000  persons  used  the  reference  department  during 
1923,  while  the  circulating  department  loaned  more  than 
10,000.000  books.  The  daily  attendance  in  the  main 
building  last  year  averaged  between  6,000  and  11.000. 
The  public  libraries  in  Manhattan.  The  Bronx  and  Rich- 
mond loaned  out  last  year  9,929,059  books,  while  the 
Brooklyn  libraries  loaned  6,069,994  books.  Altogether 
there  are  117  public  libraries  and  branches  in  the  five

these  libraries  for  the  current  year  amounts  to  about 
$1,800,000. 

Besides  the  public  libraries  there  are  a  large  number 
of  other  libraries  of  a  public  or  semi-public  nature,  many 
of  them  housing  very  important  collections.  Among 
these  may  be  mentioned,  in  alphabetical  order,  the  fol- 
lowing: Library  of  the  Academy  of  Medicine,  the 
Aeronautic  library,  library  of  the  American  Geograph-

Street  and  Subway  T5raffic 


AS  in  many  other  cities,  New  York  is  constantly 
*■  battling  with  its  transit  problem.  Because  of  its 
contour  and  the  centering  of  its  business  activities  the 
problem  is  always  uppermost  in  the  minds  of  officials 
and  citizenry.  A  fair  idea  of  its  struggle  with  its  daily 
passenger  list  to  and  from  business  may  be  gained  from 
the  fact  that  in  1923  the  subways,  elevated  and  surface 
lines  carried  a  total  of  2,577,812,845  passengers. 

The  total  mileage  of  the  subway  and  elevated  systems 
is  just  600  miles,  and  the  surface  lines  cover  1,082  miles. 
The  subway  and  elevated  roads  carried  last  year  1,506,- 
076,001  on  6,200  cars,  while  the  surface  cars,  number- 
ing 7,300  transported  1,071,736,844.  In  addition  to  this 
huge  army  the  Fifth  Avenue  buses  carried  55,974,110, 
and  other  buses,  under  municipal  supervision,  carried 
36,580,000. 

The  fare  of  five  cents,  maintained  all  through  recent 
years,  enables  a  man  to  travel  in  New  York  City  a  dis- 
tance in  the  subways  of  more  than  27  miles.  It  has 
been  figured  that  the  daily  increase  in  passengers  in  this 
city  averages  about  4,000,  and  most  of  it  is  in  directions 
where  10-car  trains  are  run  on  headways  of  a  minute  or 
under. 

Automobile  licenses  issued  last  year  in  this  city  show 
that  there  are  in  Greater  New  York  380.812  cars  and 
motor  cycles.  The  amount  of  money  taken  in  by  the 
State  Tax  Department  for  automobile  license  plates  in 
this  city  was  $6,878,435.40,  half  of  which  was  for 


pleasure  vehicles.  There  are  264,888  pleasure  vehicles 
in  the  city,  78,815  trucks  and  19,787  omnibuses.  The 
rest  are  trailers,  dealers'  can;  and  motorcycles.  The 
last  named  number  8,246. 

New  York  City  boasts  of  more  than  two  thousand 
miles  of  paved  streets,  the  exact  number  being  2,087 
miles.  It  takes  an  army  of  8,214  men  to  keep  clean  the 
thoroughfares  and  to  clear  away  the  rubbish,  garbage 
and  ashes.  An  idea  of  the  size  of  this  task  is  appre- 
ciated when  it  is  pointed  out  that  the  materials  carted 
away  in  1923  in  this  city  amounted  to  13,670,964  cubic 
yards. 

In  addition  to  this  material  the  Street  Cleaning  De- 
partment also  had  to  clear  away  and  remove  snow 
amounting  to  55,656,525  cubic  yards,  which  necessitated 
during  the  winter  the  employment  of  "extras,"  or  men 
who,  idle  and  in  need  of  work,  applied  for  the  task 
of  sweeping  the  snow  and  making  a  few  dollars. 

The  equipment  of  the  city  for  rubbish  and  snow 
removal  is  the  most  up-to-date  obtainable.  It  includes 
2,873  horse  drawn  vehicles  and  1,166  motor  vehicles. 
Garbage  disposal  has  for  a  long  time  been  a  serious 
problem,  but  recently  the  city  has  adopted  an  improved 
scheme  of  dumping  the  garbage  into  sightly  buildings, 
which  burn  the  refuse  without  the  lightest  trace  of  odor. 
It  is  expected  that  this  new  method  will  eventually  lead 
to  the  dropping  of  the  method  whereby  scows  take  far 
out  to  sea  much  of  the  garbage  collected  every  dav. 


^Morgan  Library,  'T^enj  York  City 


THIS  library  of  the  late  J.  Pierpont  Morgan  in 
East  37th  Street  next  to  the  Morgan  residence 
on  Madison  Avenue,  is  accounted  one  of  the 
most  perfect  pieces  of  architecture  in  America.  It 
houses  many  millions  of  dollars  worth  of  the  art 
treasures  he  amassed,  chiefly  rare  books  and  unique 
manuscripts,  paintings  and  properties  of  celebrities 
of  other  ages.  His  son,  J.  P.  Morgan,  has  just 
created  a  trust  that  will  administer  the  library  and 
collection  for  the  public  in  memory  of  his  father.

Museums  and  Jirt  (jdlleries 


DESPITE  its  business  atmosphere,  its  hustle  and 
bustle,  New  York  has  found  time  to  provide  itself 
with  a  number  of  splendid  museums  and  art  galleries, 
and  has  preserved  some  of  its  most  interesting  historical 
spots.  The  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art,  Fifth  Avenue 
and  82d  Street,  is  known  the  world  over.  It  is  main- 
tained partly  by  municipal  funds  and  partly  by  subscrip- 
tions and  legacies.  Entering  its  doors  last  year  were 
more  than  1,000,000  persons,  while  in  1922  the  number 
of  visitors  was  993,087.  Of  this  number  50,000  were 
school  children  in  classes. 

The  budget  expenditures  for  the  museum  were  about 
§825,000.  Its  collection  was  enriched  last  year  with 
gifts,  numbering  5,348  objects,  from  247  persons.  Not 
long  ago  George  F.  Baker  gave  $1,000,000  to  the  mu- 
seum, and  at  the  same  time  money  was  given  for  addi- 
tional building  space. 

Some  Great  Collections 

i 

The  American  Museum  of  Natural  History,  founded 
fifty-five  years  ago,  at  77th  Street  and  Central  Park 
West,  houses  one  of  the  finest  collections  in  natural  his- 
tory ever  gathered.  No  less  interesting  is  the  Brooklyn 
Institute  of  Arts  and  Sciences,  which  was  organized  more 
than  100  years  ago.  The  Brooklyn  Central  Museum  on 
Eastern  Parkway  is  eagerly  studied  by  art  students  and 
lovers  of  nature. 

The  New  York  Historical  Society,  at  170  Central  Park 
West,  has  some  splendid  old  masters  and  collections. 
Its  museum  contains  many  valuable  relics  of  New 
York  and  American  history,  besides  an  Egyptian  collec- 
tion of  3,000  objects,  the  first  ever  brought  to  America. 

The  Museum  and  Library  of  the  Hispanic  Society  of 
America,  on  Broadway,  between  155th  and  156th  Streets, 
founded  and  endowed  by  Archer  M.  Huntingdon,  con- 
tains a  very  interesting  collection  of  paintings,  particu- 
larly by  Spanish  masters,  as  well  as  objects  of  art,  Span- 
ish-Moorish files,  pottery,  metal  work,  etc.  Its  library 
contains  about  100,000  volumes,  including  many  rare 
manuscripts  and  maps.  Adjoining  the  buildings  of  the 
Hispanic  Society  is  the  Museum  of  the  American  Indian  ; 
it  contains  over  2.000,000  objects,  illustrating  the  eth- 
nology and  archeology  of  the  American  Indian. 


The  New  York  Botanical  Garden  in  Bronx  Park  and 
the  Brooklyn  Botanic  Garden  are  extremely  rich  in  in- 
terest. The  former  occupies  a  reservation  of  nearly  400 
acres,  and  includes  over  100  acres  of  natural  woodland. 
In  its  gardens  and  conservatories  are  shown  a  marvelous 
display  of  trees,  plants,  flowers  and  shrubs,  while  its 
museum  contains  an  important  library  on  botany,  horti- 
culture and  related  subjects,  as  well  as  a  great  collection 
of  prepared  plant  specimens  from  all  over  the  world. 
It  provides  free  public  lectures  and  maintains  laborato- 
ries, to  which  qualified  botanical  students  are  admitted. 
The  Brooklyn  Botanic  Garden,  which  covers  50  acres, 
offers  similar  facilities. 

For  Lovers  of  Animals 

For  lovers  of  animal  life  there  is  the  New  York 
Zoological  Park  (familiarly  known  as  the  Bronx  Zoo) 
and  the  New  York  Aquarium,  as  well  as  a  smaller 
zoological  collection  in  Central  Park.  The  Bronx  Zoo 
covers  264  acres  and  has  an  enormous  collection  of  ani- 
mals of  all  kinds  from  all  parts  of  the  world,  including 
what  is  said  to  be  the  finest  and  most  varied  collection 
of  living  birds  to  be  found  anywhere  in  the  world.  The 
New  York  Aquarium  is  one  of  the  city's  most  loved  in- 
stitutions. Formerly  Castle  Garden,  it  was  the  scene 
of  famous  receptions  to  many  illustrious  personages. 
From  1855  to  1890  it  was  an  immigrant  station,  and 
more  than  7,500,000  immigrants  passed  through  its  doors 
during  that  time.  Now  it  houses  the  largest  and  most 
comprehensive  collection  of  aquatic  specimens  in  the 
world. 

Historical  places  worth  seeing  in  New  York  include 
the  Jumel  Mansion,  Washington's  headquarters,  at  West 
160th  Street  and  Edgecombe  Avenue,  and  the  Van  Cort- 
land House  Museum,  long  held  by  the  Colonial  Dames  of 
the  State  of  New  York  in  trust  for  the  city.  Then  there 
is  the  Dyckman  House  and  museum  at  204th  Street  and 
Broadway,  which  is  the  last  Dutch  farm  house  on  Man- 
hattan Island.  All  the  furniture  and  fittings  have  been 
restored  to  their  original  state.  Another  interesting  spot 
is  Fraunces'  Tavern,  54  Pearl  Street,  which  was  built  in 
1719  and  which  was  the  scene  of  Washington's  farewell 
to  his  officers  on  December  4,  1783. 


A SPOT  dear  to  the  hearts  of  children  of  five  generations  of 
New  Yorkers  is  the  old  Arsenal  just  off  Fifth  Avenue,  at 
the  65th  Street  entrance  to  Central  Park.  The  Arsenal,  built 
in  1847,  was  the  center  of  feverish  activity  during  the  days  of  the 
Civil  War.  Later  it  became  the  first  home  of  the  Museum  of 
Natural  History.  It  is  now  being  reconditioned  as  an  office  build- 
ing for  the  Manhattan  Department  of  Parks.  The  Arsenal  itself 
is  merely  the  background  to  the  land  of  adventure  inhabited  by  the 
denizens  of  the  Zoo  which  surrounds  the  Arsenal  on  three  sides. 
Also,  note  the  refreshment  booth  in  the  foreground,  where  sodas,  ice 
cream  cones  and  lollipops  abound.

^he  City's  Open  Spaces 


PROBABLY  in  no  city  of  the  world  has  there  been 
a  more  liberal  allotment  of  park  and  playground 
spaces  than  in  New  York  City.  Due,  perhaps,  to  the 
dangers  of  street  playing  by  children  and  the  many  deaths 
that  have  occurred,  each  one  of  the  five  boroughs  has 
indulged,  particularly  of  late,  in  a  scramble  to  provide 
breathing  spaces  for  young  and  old. 

Central  Park  is  known  the  world  over,  not  only  for 
its  beauty,  but  for  its  convenient  location.  Covering 
843  acres,  the  park  is  two  and  a  half  miles  long  and  half 
a  mile  wide,  with  more  than  ten  miles  of  roads  and  five 
miles  of  bridle  paths.  The  landscape  architects  of  the 
park  were  Frederick  Law  Olmsted  and  Calvert  Vaux, 
and  the  first  work  on  the  park  was  started  in  1857.  In- 
cluded in  it  are  400  acres  of  forest,  185  acres  of  lakes 
and  more  than  500,000  trees  and  shrubs. 

Playgrounds  in  Plenty 

Xo  less  famous  is  Bronx  Park,  which  covers  an  area 
of  more  than  719  acres,  starting  at  East  182d  Street 
and  the  Southern  Boulevard.  In  it  is  the  Zoological 
Garden,  maintained  partly  by  public  and  partly  by  private 
funds.  Likewise  there  is  a  splendid  Botanical  Garden  in 
this  park.  Famous  in  this  collection  of  animals  is  the 
bird  department,  believed  to  be  the  finest  in  the  world, 
with  2,464  specimens. 

The  Borough  of  Brooklyn  boasts  of  Prospect  Park, 
which  is  natural  in  its  development  and  covers  526  acres. 
The  total  park  area  of  this  borough  is  1,182  acres. 

Queens  Borough  has  a  park  acreage  of  1,178,  the 
largest  one  being  Forest  Park  with  536  acres. 

Playgrounds  dot  the  entire  city,  in  addition  to  its  187 
parks.  Manhattan  has  55  park  playgrounds;  Brooklyn, 
15,  Bronx,  25,  and  Queens,  21. 

Manhattan  has  also  ten  parcels  of  land  now  being  con- 
sidered for  playgrounds,  in  addition  to  the  25  so-called 
vacation  playgrounds.  Then  there  are  also  eight  recrea- 
tion piers  in  the  borough,  which  afford  recreation,  music 
and  breathing  space  in  the  summer  months. 

Brooklyn  has  51  parks,  15  playgrounds,  a  mammoth 
bathing  beach  at  Coney  Island,  and  is  now  laying  out 
29  parcels  for  playgrounds,  12  state  parcels  for  recrea- 


tion and  50  public  school  playgrounds.  It  also  has  two 
splendid  athletic  fields  and  one  recreation  pier. 

The  Bronx  has  25  parks,  2  bathing  beaches,  25  public 
school  vacation  playgrounds  and  two  athletic  fields. 
There  is  also  being  planned  22  more  playgrounds  on 
city  owned  property,  as  well  as  four  to  be  turned  over 
by  the  state. 

Queens  has  21  parks,  five  playgrounds,  eleven  public- 
school  vacation  playgrounds  and  one  athletic  field.  It 
contemplates  six  more  playgrounds  on  city  owned  prop- 
erty. 

Richmond  has  22  parks  and  two  playgrounds,  but  ex- 
pects 12  more  from  state  lands  and  four  more  from  city 
land.  It  also  has  five  public  school  vacation  playgrounds 
and  one  athletic  field. 

Where  Bathing  is  Easy 

To  provide  play  space  for  the  children  there  have  been 
laid  aside  163  streets,  on  which,  during  certain  hours, 
no  traffic  is  permitted,  and  where  the  children  may  play 
with  safety.  In  addition  to  all  these  facilities,  the  Board 
of  Education  provides  evening  playgrounds,  the  Com- 
munity and  Recreation  Centers  provide  189  play  spaces, 
and  the  school  court  yards  are  opened  in  the  summer 
in  many  cases.  Bath  houses  under  municipal  control  in 
the  city  number  22,  with  Manhattan  boasting  of  13  and 
Brooklyn  of  8. 

New  York,  with  its  unexcelled  ocean  frontage  and 
with  the  North  and  East  Rivers,  as  well  as  the  Harlem 
River,  offers  the  finest  array  of  beaches  of  any  city  in 
this  country.  Foremost  among  these  is  the  Coney  Island 
Beach,  famed  the  world  over  as  the  playground  of  mil- 
lions. Nearby  are  Manhattan  and  Brighton  beaches, 
Plum  Island  Beach  and  then  the  beaches  along  the  Rock- 
aways.  On  the  Staten  Island  shore,  washed  by  ocean 
waves,  are  Midland  and  South  beaches,  and  on  the 
Sound  is  Pelham  Bay  Park  Beach.  A  little  further  up, 
but  not  in  the  confines  of  the  city,  is  Rye  Beach. 

For  a  long  time  many  New  Yorkers  have  preached  the 
gospel  of  New  York's  attraction  as  a  summer  resort, 
despite  the  fact  that  thousands  rush  away  to  mountain 
or  seashore  for  the  summer.

Qhurches  and  Charities 


NEW  YORK  CITY  is  prolific  in  churches,  boasting 
of  1,600  edifices  and  an  attendance  of  1,000,000 
every  Sunday.  Of  this  number  100,000  are  classed  as 
visitors  from  out  of  town.  Three  cathedrals  are  in  the 
list  of  notable  church  buildings.  One  of  these  is  St. 
Patrick's  (Roman  Catholic),  another  is  St.  John  the 
Divine  (Protestant  Episcopal),  and  the  third  is  St.  Nich- 
olas (Greek  Orthodox).  The  leading  synagogue  is  Beth 
El,  at  5th  Avenue  and  76th  Street. 

The  most  famous  church  in  the  city  is  probably  Trin- 
ity Church,  which  was  originally  started  in  1696.  In 
1737  it  was  enlarged,  and  thirty-nine  years  later  it  was 
destroyed  by  fire.  Twelve  years  afterward  a  new  cor- 
nerstone was  laid,  and  in  1839  that  building  was  demol- 
ished to  make  room  for  the  present  structure.  Among 
those  buried  at  Trinity  is  Robert  Fulton.  No  less  famous 
is  St.  Paul's  Church,  Broadway  and  Fulton  Street,  which 
is  noted  for  the  fact  that  George  Washington  worshipped 
there. 

When  the  Cathedral  of  St.  John  the  Divine  is  com- 
pleted, it  is  estimated  that  an  outlay  of  $20,000,000  will 
have  been  made.  At  present  more  than  $5,000,000  has 
been  spent  on  the  structure. 

The  total  value  of  churches  in  New  York  City  has 
been  estimated  at  $213,000,000. 

New  York  City  officially  spends  for  charities  and  wel- 
fare work  a  total  of  $15,000,000  every  year.  Municipal 
institutions,  under  the  Department  of  Public  Welfare, 
take  care  of  about  250,000  persons  every  year,  giving 
shelter,  food  and  medical  attention.  This  alone  cost 
$7,700,000  in  1923.  The  aged,  infirm,  feeble-minded 
and  diseased  are  accorded  unusual  care,  which  accounts 
for  the  fact  that  New  York  can  boast  of  the  lowest 
death  rate  of  any  large  city  in  the  world. 


Welfare  Island  and  the  Sea  View  Farm  Colony  house 
the  aged  and  infirm  very  comfortably.  The  Kings  County 
Hospital,  with  1,800  beds,  is  given  a  high  rating  by  med- 
ical authorities,  and  so  is  the  Metropolitan  Hospital  on 
Welfare  Island,  the  City  Hospital,  the  Coney  Island 
Hospital. 

Orphaned  children,  number  13,700,  are  in  orphanages 
or  homes  maintained  by  religious  or  charitable  organiza- 
tions, while  2,000  children  are  "boarded  out"  by  the 
city.  There  are  about  25,000  cases  of  persons  sent  to 
or  taken  to  non-official  hospitals,  where  an  investigation 
proves  whether  the  city  should  pay  a  stipend  for  the  care 
of  the  afflicted.  The  Morgue,  with  its  Potters  Field  as 
a  burial  ground  for  the  unknown,  is  one  of  the  greatest 
institutions  of  its  kind. 

The  first  poorhouse  of  the  city  was  established  in 
1640.  Private  organizations  play  a  big  part  in  the  wel- 
fare work  of  the  city  also.  Some  of  the  more  noted  ones 
are  the  Charity  Organization  Society,  the  Association  for 
the  Improvement  of  the  Condition  of  the  Poor,  Society 
of  St.  Vincent  de  Paul,  United  Hebrew  Charities  and 
Catholic  Charities  of  the  Archdiocese  of  New  York. 

Some  of  these  societies  have  as  many  as  a  dozen 
branch  offices  from  which  they  cover  districts.  Then 
there  are  Bureaus  of  Charities  in  the  various  boroughs, 
Family  Welfare  of  Queens,  Big  Sisters,  Big  Brothers. 
Catholic  Big  Sisters,  Social  Service,  etc. 

In  addition  to  all  these  societies  there  are  welfare  or- 
ganizations which  make  it  a  business  to  take  care  of  the 
immigrant  who  lands  here  and  is  bewildered,  homeless 
and  sometimes  a  prey  to  the  glib  talker.  Likewise  mam- 
states  have  local  organizations  which  make  it  a  practice 
to  help,  when  possible,  any  one  hailing  from  the  same 
state  and  who  needs  help  in  New  York  City.

Hotels,  Clubs 


and  theatres 


THE  visiting  or  so-called  floating  population  of  New 
York  City  demands  unusual  hotel  accommodations. 
Every  type  of  rooming  house  and  hostelry  is  included 
in  the  catagory  of  havens  for  the  visitor.  From  the 
palatial  suite  in  the  most  modern  of  hotels,  the  accom- 
modations run  down  the  line  to  the  five  cent  bed  along 
the  Bowery,  from  the  one  room  boarding  house  to  the 
apartments  along  Park  Avenue,  which  cost  $25,000  or 
$30,000  a  year. 

The  general  guess  as  to  the  number  of  strangers  in 
New  York  City  every  day  is  1,000,000,  but  of  course 
many  of  these  do  not  stay  overnight. 

In  the  category  of  first  class  hotels  is  reckoned  a  list 
of  about  300,  with  Brooklyn  boasting  of  five  and  the 
Bronx  of  one.  The  number  of  rooms  in  these  hotels 
is  68,000  and  the  accommodations  are  for  from  80,000 
to  120,000  persons. 

A  Wealth  of  Accommodations 

The  estimated  value  of  these  hotels  is  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  $250,000,000,  led  by  the  Hotel  Plaza,  at  Fifth 
Avenue  and-  Central  Park,  which  is  assessed  at  $11,- 
500,000.  The  Pennsylvania,  ranking  next,  is  assessed 
at  $11,000,000.  No  less  than  sixty  of  New  York's 
hotels  are  assessed  at  more  than  $500,000. 

In  order  to  keep  these  hotels  running  smoothly  there 
is  employed  an  army  of  help  which  numbers  75,000  men 
and  women.  Because  of  rooming  houses  and  boarding 
establishments,  which  are  not  listed,  there  is  not  avail- 
able an  accurate  guess  as  to  the  total  number  of  accom- 
modations, but  is  believed  to  be  about  2000. 

Clubs  are  prolific  in  New  York.  There  is  every  type 
of  club,  from  the  neighborhood  organization  to  the  man- 
sion on  Fifth  Avenue.  Political  clubs  number  about  150 
in  the  city.  Each  assembly  district  boasts  of  a  Repub- 
lican and  a  Democratic  district  organization,  most  of 
them  housed  in  well  appointed  club  houses.  There  are 
sixty-four  such  districts  in  the  city,  which  would  account 
for  128,  without  counting  several  Socialist  organizations 
in  various  sections.  The  most  famous  political  organ- 
ization in  the  city,  if  not  in  this  country,  is  the  so-called 
Tammany  Society,  sometimes  called  the  Wigwam,  in 


which  rules  the  leader  of  the  Democratic  party  in  New 
York.  Then  there  is  a  National  Democratic  Club,  as 
well  as  a  National  Republican  Club. 

Among  the  social  clubs,  which  are  well  known,  are 
the  New  York  Athletic  Club,  the  Metropolitan,  which  is 
sometimes  referred  to  as  the  Millionaires'  Club,  the 
Aldine,  Friars,  Lambs,  Lawyers,  Lotos,  Crescent 
Athletic,  Automobile,  Army  and  Navy,  Authors,  Press. 
Colony,  Newspaper,  Manhattan,  Pen  and  Brush, 
Players,  Princeton,  Harvard,  Racquet  and  Tennis,  Rail-

Unlimited  Entertainment 

New  York  has  949  theatres,  with  a  seating  capacity 
of  729,952.  There  are  350  so-called  legitimate  houses 
and  399  moving  picture  theatres.  Counting  matinees 
and  continuous  performances,  it  has  been  estimated  that 
more  than  1,000,000  persons  _pay  admission  for  theatre 
entertainment  every  day.  In  addition  the  city  has  698 
dance  halls,  of  which  277  are  in  Manhatan,  with  a 
capacity  of  161,574  persons.  Also  there  any  many  base- 
ball parks  and  athletic  fields,  the  leaders  being  the  pro- 
fessional baseball  parks,  headed  by  the  Yankee  Stadium, 
which  seats  62,000,  the  Poln  Grounds  with  55,000  and 
Ebbets  Fields  in  Brooklyn  with  28,000  seats. 

Supervision  of  these  amusement  places  keeps  200 
firemen  detailed  every  day  to  prevent  congestion  and 
other  fire  hazards.  Madison  Square  Garden,  Grand 
Central  Palace,  Palm  Garden,  Terrace  Garden  and  the 
entertainments  in  the  armories  keep  busy  many  of  the 
firemen.  The  largest  theatre  in  the  city,  and  which 
boasts  of  being  the  finest  and  largest  in  the  world,  is 
the  Hippodrome,  which  comfortably  seats  6.100  persons 
and  frequently  has  had  twice  that  number  on  one  day 
in  paid  admissions  to  its  vaudeville  show.

Looking  to  the  Future 


'By  Guy  H.  Woodward 

President  of  Rational  League  of  Young  Democrats 


HAT  is  the  National  League  of  Young  Democrats? 

It  is  the  organized  attempt  to  build  the  foundation  of 
the  Democratic  Party  of  to-morrow. 


Democracy,  like  a  beautiful  building,  needs  continual  reinforce- 
ment and  repair,  and  the  material  from  whence  that  grand  edifice  shall 
be  reinforced  must  come  from  the  young  and  militant  democracy  of 
to-day. 

The  Young  American  who  is  about  to  assume  the  duties  of 
citizenship  little  knows  the  pressing  task  that  will  fall  upon  him,  but  he 
is  feeling  the  great  truth  of  the  age  in  that  he  is  realizing  that  a  Nation, 
however  powerful  it  may  be,  will  crumble  with  wealthy  intolerance 
into  a  miserable  collapse,  unless  vitalized  by  the  heart  and  conscience 
of  incorruptible  men  and  women. 

Therefore — The  National  League  of  Young  Democrats,  a  duly 
recognized  arm  of  the  National  Democratic  Committee. 

It  shall  be  the  purpose  of  the  League  at  all  times  to  assist  in 
furthering  the  interests  of  the  Democratic  Party  and  not  lend  itself 
to  the  cause  of  any  candidate,  faction  or  party  in  the  intra-party  ques- 
tions which  may  arise  and  to  show  at  all  times  an  unfailing  allegiance 


and  zeal  for  the  great  humanitarian  principles  underlying  our  Party 
which  it  has  advocated  in  the  past  and  as  the  Party  of  the  People, 
must  advocate  in  the  future. 

These  ideals  and  purposes  can  only  be  carried  through  to  con- 
crete action  by  the  organization  of  young  men  and  women  and  by  the 
encouragement  and  co-operation  of  the  older  men  and  women  of  our 
Party.  Several  States  have  formed  State  organizations  of  young 
Democrats  and  are  now  live,  functioning  organizations  of  the  National 
League. 

It  is  estimated  that  only  1  7  in  100  voters  under  35  years  of  age 
exercised  their  franchise  in  the  last  general  election.  Was  this  true 
in  your  State,  Mr.  Delegate? 

You  are  a  recognized  leader  of  Democracy  or  you  would  not  be 
in  this  great  Convention  as  a  representative  of  your  home  community 
and  the  National  League  of  Young  Democrats  beg  of  you  to  exercise 
at  least  a  small  portion  of  that  leadership  ability,  upon  the  organization 
of  young  men  and  women  of  your  home  community  and  thus  build 
to-day  a  foundation  for  your  Party  that  will  endure  the  structure  of 
Democratic  principles  of  to-morrow.

MEMBERS  of  the  Broadway  Association  and  friends, 
appreciating  the  importance  of  the  forthcoming  Na- 
tional Democratic  Convention  in  New  York,  thought- 
fully prepared  a  little  book  of  facts  about  Greater  New  York 
that  will  receive  free  distribution  among  all  the  delegates. 

The  committee  in  charge  has  arranged  for  1 00,000  copies. 
Its  title  is  "New  York — Where  to  Go  and  flow  to  Get  There." 
The  facts  are  as  near  correct  as  is  humanly  possible  to  com- 
pile them,  while  its  range  covers  all  that  can  be  of  immediate 
service  to  the  stranger  within  our  gates,  and  makes  known  in 
the  most  modest  form  all  the  places  of  interest  in  this  great 
American  city. 

Through  the  courtesy  of  the  Hotelmen's  Association,  each 
delegate  is  assured  of  receiving  a  copy  of  the  guide  to  New 
York  in  his  own  hotel.  It  has  only  been  possible  to  produce  this 
great  volume  of  facts  by  the  assistance  of  a  number  of  New 
York  business  men,  who  by  their  patriotic  public  spirit  wished 
to  participate  in  making  the  visit  of  the  representative 
Democrats  of  the  United  States  just  a  little  more  inviting. 


Y  I MHE  Broadway  Association  was  organized  in  191?  by  a 
f  small  group  of  men  to  maintain  Broadway  as  a  thorough- 
fare  of  the  most  modern  type.  Today  it  has  over  1000  of 
New  York's  leading  business  men  cooperating  to  preserve  its 
history,  which  is  rich  in  romance  and  progress ;  enlarge  upon  its 
social  and  industrial  life ;  emulate  truth  in  advertising  ;  improve 
its  traffic  conditions;  aid  the  municipality  in  the  observance  of 
law  and  order  ;  provide  effective  publicity  ;  foster  remedial  legis- 
lation, and  standardize  outdoor  activities  to  the  end  that  Broad- 
way shall  always  remain  the  greatest  street  in  the  world. 

The  name  of  Broadway  is  sacred  to  the  members  of  the 
Association. 

It  is  the  longest  business  street  in  the  world.  It  starts  at 
Bowling  Green  and  does  not  end  until  it  reaches  Albany,  the 
Capital  of  the  State.  Its  entire  length  is  paved,  policed,  lighted. 
In  actualitv  it  continues  on  until  it  reaches  the  Canadian  border 
on  the  north. 

Broadway  can  rightfully  boast  of  its  wealth,  amusements, 
diversity  of  interests,  architecture,  public  squares,  monuments, 
history.  It's  a  street  of  a  thousand  inspirations  and  the  am- 
bition of  every  one  to  reach  sometime  during  their  life. 

Realizing  that  New  York  City  could  offer  a  great  national 
convention  all  the  facilities  required  to  make  such  a  gathering 
a  success,  the  Broadway  Association  was  the  first  civic  body 
to  extend  the  National  Committee  an  invitation  to  come  to  the 
great  American  metropolis.  And  its  members,  by  their  zeal 
and  devotion,  will  figure  largely  in  presenting  the  best  side  of 
the  city  to  the  many  thousands  who  will  seek  inspiration  and 
recreation  during  their  convention  activities.

OF  the  manifold  attractions  New  York  holds  for  the 
transient  within  its  gates  from  May  to  November, 
none  surpasses  that  of  racing'  which  begins  at  the 
various  courses  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Jockey 
Club  during  the  closing  days  of  April  and  continues 
until  the  end  of  October. 

That  New  York  racing  should  have  an  appeal  for  tho«e 
from  other  parts  of  the  Union  is  readily  understood. 
By  common  consent  the  greatest  centre  of  population 
in  the  United  States  has  long  been  voted  the  amusement 
and  recreative  hub  of  the  Western  hemisphere.  Pleas- 
ure-seekers come  to  Gotham  confident  in  the  belief 
that  it  has  attractions  in  keeping  with  its  status  as 
one  of  the  chief  social,  financial  and  art  centres  of  the 
United  States. 

New  York  has  long  had  a  staunch  following  of  its 
own  for  the  thoroughbred.  None  surpasses  the  local 
enthusiast  in  his  devotion  to  the  turf.  The  patronage 
accorded  to  Belmont  Park,  Aqueduct,  Jamaica  and  Em- 
pire City,  while  noted  for  its  cosmopolitan  quality  pos- 
sesses a  solidity  that  denotes  the  durability  of  the  turf 
in  New  "'York.  Racing  here  is  a  function  as  well  as  a 
recreation.  It  also  has  an  economic  value  because  of 
its  relationship  to  horsebreeding,  the  thoroughbred  de- 
veloped by  the  tests  of  the  course  being  the  quickening 
element  so  essential  in  the  improvement  of  all  other 
types  of  the  light  horse. 

Almost  the  same  atmosphere  is  found  at  Saratoga 
Springs  where  racing  is  conducted  throughout  the  month 
of  August.  Horse  lovers  of  the  central  part  of  the  State 
and  the  thousands  of  visitors  from  all  parts  of  the  United 
States,  Canada  and  Cuba  find  the  waters  of  the  resort 
and  the  races  an  irresistible  combination.  The  casual 
patron  recruited  from  the  territory  close  to  New  York 
is  replaced  by  those  from  the  rural  districts,  while 
some  devotees  of  the  sport  come  from  as  far  away  as 
the  Canadian  border  to  view  the  attractions  on  special 
occasions,  the  superb  state  highways  making  a  return 
trip  from  Montreal  possible  in  a  single  day. 

The  importance  of  racing  to  any  country  cannot  be 
over-estimated.  During  the  period  of  nation-wide  legis- 
lation restrictive  to  the  turf  between  1908  and  1912  the 
United  States  lost  thousands  of  its  best  specimens  of 
the  thoroughbred  to  foreign  countries.  The  thorough- 
bred is  an  international  'commodity  and  his  value  is 
based  on  his  earning  capacity.  If  we  interfere  with 
that  capacity,  or  in  other  ways  discourage  and  hamper 
the  development  of  racing,  our  thoroughbred  will  be 
taken  to  those  countries  where  racing  is  encouraged. 

In  the  course  of  a  dozen  years,  we  have  not  fully 
recovered  from  the  injury  sustained  between  190S  and 
1912.  In  the  meantime  the  usefulness  of  the  thorough- 
bred has  been  augmented  and  the  demand  for  preserving 
the  type  is  greater  than  ever  before.  The  coming  of 
the  automobile  and  the  reduction  in  the  commercial 
use  of  the  horse  has  cut  down  the  breeding  of  the  light 
draft  and  cavalry  horse,  so  that  one  of  the  most  im- 
portant fields  of  encouragement  for  production  lies 
in  fostering  the  breeding  of  the  thoroughbred  and  giving 
stimulus  to  the  necessary  test  of  racing. 

Something  of  the  damage  inflicted  on  racing  by  legis- 
lation inimical  to  the  turf  is  shown  by  the  official  re- 
cords of  the  Joc  key  Club.  The  high"  water  point  in 
breeding  was  reached  in  1905,  when  4411  thoroughbred 
foals  were  registered.  From  that  point  there  was  a 
gradual  decline  to  1740  in  1913.  where  the  tide  turned 
with  a  resumption  of  racing.  Recoverv  has  been  slow- 
but  sure,  2648  foals  being  registered  in  1923.  It  was  es- 
timated that  nearly  9.000  thoroughbred  mares  were 
owned  in  the  United  States  in  1905,  while  the  present 
day  total  runs  to  about  5500. 

The  quality,  however,  has  greatly  improved,  and  every 
patron  of  the  race  course  can  feel  himself  a  public  bene- 


factor, helping  to  build  up  an  important  arm  of  defense, 
the  cavalry  horse,  for  we  must  assume  equal  respon- 
sibility if  we  put  our  young  men,  in  time  of  war,  on  an 
inferior  horse,  as  we  would  if  we  placed  an  inferior  rifle 
in  his  hands. 

Only  those  familiar  with  the  history  of  the  turf  in 
New  York  can  appreciate  the  loyalty  and  disinterested- 
ness of  those  responsible  for  the  conditions  under  which 
the  sport  is  at  present  conducted.  Millions  have  been 
spent  in  developing  park-like  properties  that  have  yielded 
lean  returns  upon  the  investment,  taking  the  period  of 
their  existence  into  consideration. 

Sport  has  been  the  actuating  impulse  behind  the  move- 
ment that  has  brought  into  being  the  superb  plants  at 
Belmont  Park,  Saratoga  Springs,  Aqueduct,  Empire  City 
and  Jamaica.  The  throngs  which  view  the  historic 
rac  es  under  the  auspices  of  the  Westchester  Racing  As- 
sociation, the  Saratoga  Association  for  the  Improvement 
of  the  Breed  of  Horses,  the  Queens  County  Jockey  Club, 
the  Empire  City  Racing  Association,  and  the  Metropoli- 
tan Jockey  Club  is  the  best  proof  of  the  public's  appre- 
ciation. 

Great  stake  fixtures,  rich  in  tradition,  are  offered  an- 
nually. Their  continuity  has  been  the  greatest  safe- 
guard the  breeders  of  the  country  could  desire.  They 
have  stabilized  values  of  bloodstock  and  made  them  as 
standard  as  other  commodities.  Y-ear  by  year  these 
prizes  have  mounted  in  value  as  the"  public  has  made  it 
possible  by  liberal  patronage  at  the  gate — New  York 
racing  derives  no  financial  support  from  any  other 
source  save  that  of  the  catering  and  a  few  other  minor 
privileges. 

That  such  stakes  as  the  Belmont  and  Lawrence  Real- 
ization for  three  year  olds  and  the  Futurity  for  two  year 
olds,  raced  for  at  Belmont  Park,  and  the  Hopeful  for 
two  year  olds  at  Saratoga  Springs,  should  each  have  a 
value  of  $50,000  or  more,  speaks  eloquently  of  a  system 
which  neglects  dividends  to  build  racing  programs  of 
such  richness. 

Other  events  of  great  value  at  Belmont  Park  are  the 
Suburban  and  Metropolitan  Handicaps.  Saratoga  has 
its  Travers,  Alabama  and  Hopeful  Stakes.  Aqueduct  the 
Brooklyn  and  Aqueduct  Handicap  and  the  Dwyer  and 
Great  American  Stakes,  while  Jamaica's  chief  fixtures 
are  the  Exct  'sior  and  Paumonok  Handicaps  and  the 
Youthful  and  Colorado  Stakes.  Empire  City's  chief  prizes 
are  the  Empire  City  Handicap  and  Derby  and  the  Whirl 
and  East  View  Stakes. 

The  quality  of  the  sport  on  these  courses  in  1923  was 
high  and  the  awards  to  horsemen  reached  the  magnificent 
lotal  of  $2,080,991  contributed  as  follows:  Westchester 
Itacing  Association  $tit>3,151;  Saratoga  Racing  Association 
*402. 789;  Queens  County  Jockey  Club.  $380,831;  Metro- 
politan Jockey  Club  $318,961;  Empire  Citv  Racing  Asso- 
ciation $314,859. 

A  feature  of  the  sport  on  Jockey  Club  courses  in  1923 
was  the  $100,000  International  Race  between  the  Ameri- 
can champion  three  year  old  Zev  and  the  Epsom  Derby 
winner  Papyrus.  The  promotion  of  this  event  gained  for 
the  Belmont  Park  management  a  well  deserved  measure 
of  praise.  The  race  was  of  the  greatest  benefit  to  the 
cause  of  racing  and  undoubtedly  paved  the  way  to  that 
reciprocal  relationship  between  the  turf  governing  bodies 
of  the  world  which  was  the  purpose  of  those  who  framed 
the  event.  Thousands  who  had  never  visited  a  race 
track  previously  saw  Zev  defeat  the  English  colt  on 
October  20th. 

The  meeting  of  the  Queens  County  Jockey  Club  is 
being  held  at  the  present  time.  Its  Aqueduct  course  is 
one  of  the  best  in  the  circuit.  A  visit  to  New  York 
would  be  incomplete  without  an  afternoon  there  with  the 
thoroughbreds.

DEMOCRATIC  NATIONAL  CONVENTION  -  JUNE  24,  1924 

The  Democratic  Convention  Committee  has  accepted  from  R.  H.  Maey

official  reception  room,  post  office,  telephone  exchange  and  cloak  room.

At  Last — a  Comfortable 
Convention 

Most  political  conventions  in  tlie 
past  have  been  notoriously  uncom- 


fortable, especially  for  ladies.  A  dil- 
igent search  lias  therefore  been  made 
for  a  building  to  serve  as  a  conven- 
tion annex,  in  which  you  will  find  a 
luxurious  elubroom,  a  headquarters 
for  all  your  activities  as  the  delegate 
or  alternate  of  your  party,  and  as 
the  city's  guest. 

New  York's  leading  department 
store,  R.  H.  Macy  &  Co.,  Inc.,  has 
solved  this  problem  by  leasing  from 
the  theatrical  company  which  occu- 
pied it,  the  Madison  Square  Theatre, 
which  is  part  of  the  Garden  and  di- 
rectly adjoins  its  main  entrance  on 
Madison  Avenue. 
Macy's  has  now  turned 
the  theatre  over  to  tlie

an  information  desk,  a  theatre  ticket

WHEN"  Sevmour  and  Blaine  were  nomi- 
nated in  18C8  in  New  York  City,  Macy's 
occupied  a  tiny  store  downtown  on  Fourteenth 
Street.  Here  Mr.  Macy  originated  his  famous 
policy  of  buying  for  cash  and  selling  for  cash 
and  guaranteeing  his  prices  to  be  the  lowest 
in  the  city.  This  policy,  sacredly  maintained 
for  06  years,  has  made  Macy's  the  largest  re- 
tail business  under  a  single  roof  in  America.

LOOKING  DOWN  BROADWAY  FROM  ST.  PAUL'S  CHURCH 


A  Service  Station  to  Mankind 

In  the  wilderness  and  in  the  crowded  city,  Christ  beheld  a  restless  multitude,  and  "He  was 
move/1  with  compassion  toward  them  because  they  were  as  sheep  not  having  a  shepherd;  and 
He  began  to  tcacli  them  many  things." 

A  great,  restless,  shepherdlcss  multitude  is  crowding  America's  chief  city  today,  and  men 
and  women  of  all  creeds,  everywhere,  with  the  spirit  of  the  Master,  are  now  called  to  a

The  Towering  Church 

Its  physical  dominance  gives  architectural 
expression  to  the  idea  of  spiritual  domi- 
nance. Everywhere  in  the  cities  today  the 
churches  whose  spires  once  pointed  con- 
spicuously toward  heaven  are  heing  sub- 
merged by  commercial  skyscrapers — a  sym- 
bol of  modern  life.  The  great  new  Broad- 
way Temple  will  lift  up  the  Cross  of  Chri>t. 
exalt  religion,  and  proclaim  from  the  hill- 
tots  the  glory  of  service. 

"When  Uiis  building  is  erected  it  will  he  nne 
of  the  landmarks  of  the  city,  rivaling  the  Wool- 
worth  Building,  the  Metropolitan,  and  the  Ca-

A  Great  Business  Plant 

The  $4,0(10,000  Broadway  Temple  will  con- 
tain fireproof,  modern  elevator  apartments 
for  500  people,  with  playgrounds  on  the 
"roof.  In  the  24-story  tower  will  be  dormi- 
tories, all  furnished,  for  500  young  men. 
On  the  street  level  will  be  stores,  and  a 
church  auditorium  seating  2,200,  and  in 
th'-  basement,  full  equipment  for  social  ac- 
tivities. The  whole  plant  will  be  con- 
structed, financed  and  operated  through  a 
Corporation  of  prominent  business  men  of 
New  York. 

"There  shouldn't  he  any  question  in  anybody's 
mind  as  to  the  ultimate  success  of  it,  and  I  am 
very  proud  to  have  the  opportunity  to  he  a  part 
of  it.  You  put  this  wonderful  edifice  on  a  floe

Self  Support  and  Earnings 

Rents  of  apartments,  dormitories,  and  stores 
are  based  upon  an  expert  study  of  the  neigh- 
borhood, and  the  assured  financial  income 
from  them  will  carry  and  ultimately  liqui- 
date the  Mortgage  Gold  Bonds  on  the  build-

quirements and  the  operating  budget  of  the 
Temple  itself,  the  surplus  will  be  used  to

To  Meet  a  Present  Need 

Manhattan  Island  has  36  fewer  Protestant 
Churches  than  25  years  ago.    No  new  strong 
church  has  been  organized  and  erected  by 
its  membership  in   New   York  City  within 
15  years.     Sixty   first  class  theatres,  and 
many  great   Hotels,   Lodges,   and  Commer- 
cial Buildings  crowd  the  skyline,  but  no  up- 
standing building  devoted  to  religion  looms 
above    them;    while    only    425,000    of  the 
2.00O.000    Protestants    in    New    York  are 
members  of  the  local  churches,  and  1,000,- 
000  children  are  without  religious  education. 
"The  realization  of  your  purpose  will  mean  the 
promotion  of  religion  in  this  great  world  center 
and    consequently    the   vital    enrichment    of  all 
that  constitutes  its  life." — Lithkr  P.  Wilson, 
Bishop  of  Methodist  Episcopal  Church.

THE    NEW  YORK    .STOCK  EXCHANGE 


1812 


Upon  the  liquidation  of  the  First  Bank  of  the  United 
States,  which  had  its  development  under  Alexander 
Hamilton,  this  Bank  was  chartered,  its  stock  offered 
to  the  stockholders  of  the  liquidating  bank,  and  three  days 
before  the  beginning  of  the  War  of  1812,  it  began  business. 


uring  the  intervening  112  years,  it  has  served  daily  the 
financial  requirements  of  domestic  and  foreign  commerce,  and 
holds  the  leading  position  among  financial  institutions  in  the 
Western  Hemisphere.  It  has  lived  under  twenty-nine  Ad' 
ministrations,  twelve  of  which  during  the  past  sixty-three 
years  have  been  Republican  and  four  Democratic.  Its  depositors 
and  clients,  its  stockholders,  its  directors,  its  officers,  are  not  all  of 
one  Party,  and  institutionally,  it  has  no  Party  affiliation.  It  has 
always  held  it  as  its  duty  to  support  the  endeavors  and  acts 
of  the  ruling  Administration  so  far  as  in  its  opinion  they  were 
economically  and  financially  sound  and  for  the  public  good. 
Its  advice  and  counsel  have  not  been  colored  by  Party  bias. 


egardless  of  the  results  of  this  Convention,  and  the  sub- 
sequent election,  we  shall  go  on  with  policy  unchanged.  We 
only  ask  for  American  business  which  we  serve,  fair  treat- 
ment, and  a  chance  in  the  world  competition  which  is  bound 
to  be  increasingly  severe  in  the  months  and  years  to  come.

JOHN  WANAMAKER 
NEW  YORK 


WHEREVER  civilized  man 
goes  John  Wanamaker  is 
known.  Not  only  through  North 
and  South  America  and  in 
Europe,  but  'round  the  world. 

In  addition  to  the  Wanamaker  London  and 
Paris  Houses  long  established  and  now  perma- 
nently owned,  and  the  Shanghai  House  in  the 
East,  there  are  direct  Wanamaker  connections 
with  the  most  important  Houses  in  Spain,  Italy, 
Switzerland,  Czechoslovakia,  Austria, Germany, 
Norway,  Sweden,  Denmark  and  Russia;  in  Al- 
giers, Tunis,  Egypt,  Turkey,  Persia  and  Arabia; 
in  India,  Kashmir,  Afghanistan  and  Burmah;  in 
Australia,  New  Zealand  and  Tahiti;  in  China, 
Japan,  Korea,  Manchuria,  the  Philippines  and 
Siam  ;  as  well  as  in  the  islands  and  countries  closer 
home — in  Cuba  and  Porto  Rico,  in  Mex- 
ico, Central  America,  Brazil  and  other 
parts  of  the  South  American  Continent. 

Wanamaker  world-travelers  in  quest 
of  the  new,  penetrate  to  the  very  edge  of 
the  desert,  even  to  the  door  of  untrodden 
Thibet.  And  here,  at  Yarkand  in  Kash- 
mir, the  threshhold  of  Thibet,  the  Lama 
priests  come  down  from  the  mountains  to 
sell  to  Wanamaker's  their  buddhas  and 
brasses  which  later  are  found 
in  the  Far  East  Shop. 

At  Peshawar  on  the  Af- 
ghan frontier  and  Rawal 
Pindi  at  the  gateway  to  Kash- 
mir ;  from  Bombay  to  Am- 
ritsar,  Agra,  Benares,  to 
Delhi  and  Madras ;  in  Pe-

goon  and  Mandalay;  in  Shang- 
hai, Peking,  Foochau,  Soochau, 
and  Hong  Kong;  in  Tokyo,  Yo- 
kohama, Nagoya,  Kobe,  Osaka, 
Kioto,  Gifu,  Nara  and  Nikko; 
in  Manila,  Korea  and  Manchuria — everywhere 
John  Wanamaker  is  known  as  both  buyer  and 
seller,  as  merchant  and  advertiser,  as  a  pioneer 
in  the  business  service  of  mankind. 

World-wide  is  the  story  of  John  Wanamaker's 
taking  $24  out  of  his  $24.67  first  day's  sales  63 
years  ago  to  place  the  advertisement  in  the  news- 
papers which  later,  followed  by  others,  led  to  the 
great  advertising  of  today  and  helped  to  make 
the  modern  newspaper. 

His  business  innovations,  his  money  back  and 
one  price  systems,  his  courtesies  of  shopping,  his 
makingastoreapalace  of  ar*  and  music  — • 
all  are  part  of  the  world's  business  history. 

Creative   genius   never   dies.  John 
Wanamaker  lives  in  the  institutions  he 
founded  even  more  creatively  today  be- 
cause his  work  goes  higher  with  each  new 
advance  of  mankind.  From  the  New  York 
House  to  the  London  House — first  time 
from  House  to  House — and  over  Great 
Britain  and  Europe  the  name  was  recently 
carried  by  radio  in  the  broad- 
casting of  the  famous  organs 
of  the  world,  by  Dupre  and 
Courboin.  There  is  no  limit  to 
the  power  and  life  of  an  ideal 
so  generously  given  to  the 
world.     John  Wanamaker 
freely  gave   all  his  discov- 
eries. He  gave  to  the  people 
their  North  Star  of  Business.

STEIN  WAY 

THE  INSTRUMENT  OF  THE  IM MORTALS 


OCCASIONALLY  the  genius  of  man 
produces  some  masterpiece  of  art — 
a  symphony,  a  book,  a  painting — of  such 
surpassing  greatness  that  for  generation 
upon  generation  it  stands  as  an  ideal, 
unequalcd  and  supreme.  For  more  than 
three  score  years  the  position  of  the 
Steinway  piano  has  been  comparable  to 
such  a  masterpiece — with  this  difference: 
A  symphony,  a  book,  a  painting,  once 


given  to  the  world,  stands  forever  as  it 
is.  But  the  Steinway,  great  as  it  was  in 
Richard  Wagner's  day,  has  grown  greater 
still  with  each  generation  of  the  Steinway 
family.  From  Wagner,  Liszt  and  Rubin- 
stein down  through  the  years  to  Pade- 
rewski,  Rachmaninoff  and  Hofmann,the 
Steinway  has  come  to  be  "the  Instrument 
of  the  Immortals"  and  the  instrument  of 
those  who  love  immortal  music. 


Steinway  &  Sons  and  their  dealers  have  made  it  conveniently  possible  for  music  lovers  to  own  a  Steinway. 
Prices:  $875  and  up,  plus  freight  at  points  distant  from  New  York.

Democracy  and  the  Railroads 


HE  vast  structure  of  the  American  democracy  is  built 


-J-  four-square  upon  two  words— voluntary  co-operation.  One 
hundred  and  ten  million  people  are  working  together  and 
they  are  working  voluntarily,  because  that  is  the  way  in  which 
Americans  must  be  allowed  to  work. 

Voluntary  co-operation  has  given  us  a  matchless  railway 
system,  but  it  also  has  permitted  this  system  at  times  to  be- 
come seriously  impaired.  This  has  been  the  case  when  greed, 
indifference  or  the  blighting  effect  of  purely  partisan  con- 
siderations have  interfered  with  its  true  function  — that  of 
serving  public,  rather  than  private  or  political  interests.  Such 
impairment  has  cost  the  nation  billions  of  dollars. 

A  great  party,  hoping  to  assume  the  responsibilities  of 
national  government,  can  deal  with  few  subjects  of  equal 
magnitude.  Its  members  should  understand  the  basic  facts 
as  they  have  been  set  forth  clearly,  simply  and  with  entire 
fairness  in  a  little  book  entitled, 


"THE  AMERICAN  WAYS 


This  small  volume,  which  can  be  read  through  in  less  than  an  hour, 
throws  a  flood  of  light  on  one  of  the  most  misunderstood  questions  of 
the  present  day.

PIERCE 

THERE  are  workmen  in  the  Pierce- Arrow 
factory  who  are  more  concerned  about  the 
good  fortune  of  a  Pierce-Arrow  Car  than  any 
owner  could  possibly  be.  Their  pride  in  their 
work  and  its  consummation  in  the  car  they 
have  so  earnestly  striven  to  make  perfect,  is 
the  finest  thing  you  buy  when  you  buy  a 
Pierce-Arrow.  The  reason  for  this  feeling  is 
that  Pierce-Arrow  is  not  a  machine-made 
product  in  a  strict  sense.  Machines  help  tre- 
mendously, with  their  power  and  their  accu- 
racy, but  each  car  is  perfected  in  its  finer  and 
more  individual  needs  with  handwork,  and  it  is 
handwork  of  a  kind  calling  for  the  highest  spirit 
of  craftsmanship  on  the  part  of  the  workman.

ONE  needs  only  to  study  the  growth  of  the  Gas  industry  in 
New  York  City  to  visualize  the  growth  of  the  metropolis. 
Our  first  charter  was  granted  us  on  March  26,  1823 — one 
hundred  and  one  years  ago.  Our  expansion  has  always  been  a  trifle 
ahead  of  the  City's  so  that  the  increasing  population  would  not  be 
without  its  Gas  service. 

Our  properties  today  are  valued  at  about  $750,000,000.  The  com- 
bined sales  of  gas  of  the  Consolidated  Gas  Company  of  New  York 
and  its  affiliated  gas  companies  in  1923  were  41,448,991,500  cubic 
feet  of  gas.  We  used  133,000,000  gallons  of  oil  and  748,000  gross 
tons  of  coal  to  manufacture  the  gas. 

In  1868  the  population  of  Manhattan  and  The  Bronx  was  949,685.  Today 

we  have  955,355  gas  meters  in  those  two  Boroughs  alone. 

The  picture  below  shows  the  largest  gas  manufacturing  plant  in  the  world. 
Each  of  the  two  gasholders  holds  15,000,000  cubic  feet  of  gas.  Our  gas  supply 
has  never  failed.

The  Only  Typewriter  Permitted  in 
the  Democratic  Convention  Hall! 

THE  REMINGTON-NOISELESS  (formerly  The  Noiseless  Type- 
writer)  has  been  chosen  as  the  official  typewriter  of  the  1924 
Democratic  National  Convention.  No  other  typewriter  has  ever 
held  this  enviable  position. 

This  is  a  repetition  of  what  occurred  in  1920  when  the  Noiseless 
Typewriter  was  used  not  only  in  the  Press  Sections  but  even  on 
the  Speakers'  Platforms  at  both  the  Chicago  and  San  Francisco 
Conventions.  It  was  also  used  by  the  Associated  Press,  the  Inter- 
national  News  Service,  the  United  Press  and  the  Universal  Service, 
as  well  as  by  the  correspondents  of  the  great  daily  newspapers. 

The  Remington-Noiseless  has  again  been  selected,  not  only 
because  of  its  silent  operation  but  also  because  of  its  speed  and 
dependability.  It  does  not  disturb  and  will  stand  up  under  the 
terrific  strain  of  the  Convention  just  as  it  did  in  1920 

This  machine  is  the  latest  addition  to  the 
Remington  Typewriter  Line — an  acquisition 
which  makes  the  Remington  Line  universal. 
There  is  now  a  machine  bearing  the  name 
Remington  for  every  conceivable  need  of 
every  typewriter  user. 

Remington  Typewriters  are  famous  for 
their  ease  of  operation,  lightness  of  touch 
and  durability.  Let  us  tell  you  about  their 
many  other  features  with  no  obligation  to  ycu.

OUR  PLATFORM 

Courtesy — Efficiency — Service 


VOTERS  judge  a  candidate  by  two  things — his  ability 
and  the  platform  on  which  he  stands.     In  like  manner, 
you  may  judge  a  banking  institution. 

With  twelve  offices  in  four  boros  of  Greater  New  York, 
with  resources  of  more  than  $100,000,000  and  with  import- 
ant connections  throughout  the  United  States  and  abroad, 
the  Manufacturers  Trust  Company  is  able  to  give  broad, 
constructive  service  in  all  its  departments — commercial  bank- 
ing, investment,  trust,  thrift  and  foreign. 

Our  platform  has  three  planks — "Courtesy — Efficiency — 
Service."  Every  officer  and  employee  lives  up  to  them. 
A  cordial  invitation  is  especially  extended  to  visitors,  dele-

UNCERTAINTIES  1 


DEMOCRATIC  NATIONAL  CONVENTION 


? 


WHO  WILL  BE  NOMINATED? 

WHAT  WILL  THE  PLATFORM  SAY? 

WILL  THE  CANDIDATE  NOMINATED  BE  ELECTED? 

WHAT  WOULD  YOU  GIVE  TO  KNOW? 


Many  have  their  opinions.   Some  feel  pretty  sure.  There  is  much  enthusiasm. 
There  are  many  prophecies. 
But  no  one  knows. 

No  one  will  know  the  name  of  the  nominee  until  the  fateful  ballot  has  been 
cast;  no  one  will  know  who  is  to  be  the  next  President  until  the  evening  of  Novem- 
ber fourth  next — and  perhaps  not  then! 

Uncertainties! 

If  the  National  Committees  could  only  insure  against  them! 
But  there  is  no  insurance  company  that  can  insure  against  the  uncertainties 
of  a  national  convention  or  a  national  election. 


OTHER  UNCERTAINTIES 

The  delegates  will  get  all  worked  up  over  this  convention  and  over  the  election  following 
They  will  get  into  a  fever  heat.  They  will  make  plans;  they  will  consult;  they  will  bargain; 
they  will  make  promises;  they  will  even  tell  some  whoppers — because  they  will  say  they  are 
sure.    Sure  nothing! 

There  is  a  question  of  very  much  more  importance  to  every  Delegate  than  the  outcome 
of  this  convention.  There  is  something  more  important  to  the  voters  than  the  result  of  the 
election  that  will  follow. 

It  is  this — Will  you  live  twenty  years,  or  ten  years  or  one  year?  You  are  relatively 
worth  more  to  your  family  than  this  or  any  convention  is  to  the  country. 

Conventions  and  elections  are  mere  incidents.  The  country  will  be  safe  in  any  event. 
You  can  afford  to  see  your  candidate  or  your  party  defeated — ■ 

But  you  cannot  afford  to  die  and  leave  your  family  unprovided  for. 

No  real  man  or  woman  can  afford  to  do  that. 

And  here's  the  comfort  of  it — you  don't  need  to.  You  are  not  obliged  even  to  take  a  risk, 
You  can  absolutely  insure  against  such  a  result. 

Great  duties  cannot  always  be  easily  discharged.  Sometimes  they  can  be.  The  discharge 
of  the  greatest  duty  in  life — the  protection  of  dependents — looks  to  be  the  most  difficult  of 
all.  In  reality  it  is  the  simplest  of  all.  Great  problems  cannot  always  be  easily  solved.  Some- 
times they  can  be.    It  depends  on  how  fearlessly  and  honestly  we  approach  them. 

How  easy,  how  simple  the  method  of  solving  the  great  problem  of  duty  to  one's  family. 

Just  insure  your  life  and  it's  done.

To  Better  Serve  the  Trade 


THE  new  New  York  building  of  The  Amer- 
ican News  Company,  Inc.,  is  shown  above 
as  it  will  appear  upon  completion,  occupying 
the  entire  block  front  on  the  west  side  of  Varick 
street,  from  Spring  to  Dominick  streets. 

Constructed  of  fireproof  reinforced  concrete,  the 
twelve  stories  will  give  an  approximate  total  of 
300,000  square  feet  of  floor  space.  In  addition  to  large 
and  attractive  sales  rooms,  executive  offices,  and 
operating  departments,  there  will  be  stock  rooms 
equipped  with  over  one  hundred  miles  of  steel  shelv- 
ing, to  take  care  of  a  stock  of  some  5,000  different 
stationery  and  toy  items  and  over  1,000,000  books. 
Interior  loading  platforms  will  insure  efficient  ship- 
ping and  eliminate  all  traffic  congestion  that  curb 
loading  produces.  The  roof  will  be  equipped  with 
recreation  courts  and  will  augment  a  rest  room  and 
cafeteria  for  employees.  An  automatic  telephone 
and  call  system,  and  large  display  windows,  dressed 
by  experts  as  display  suggestions  to  dealers,  will  be 
added  features.  The  entire  building  will  be  fitted 
with  carefully  planned  new  equipment. 


The  Turner  Construction  Company  are  the  con- 
tractors for  the  new  building,  which  was  designed 
by  Mr.  Russell  G.  Cory,  with  Mr.  William  F. 
Wholey  as  equipment  specialist. 

When  the  last  concrete  is  poured,  the  last  rivet 
hammered  home,  and  the  painter  makes  his  last 
stroke,  300,000  more  feet  of  floor  space  will  begin 
at  once  to  operate  to  better  a  service  that  for  sixty 
years  has  been  efficient  in  and  proud  of  its  purpose, 
that  of  distributing  a  nation's  reading  matter  to 
every  dealer  in  every  corner  of  the  United  States 
and  Canada  regularly,  and  on  time.  With  some 
twenty-two  thousand  different  periodicals  in  the 
country,  and  the  millions  of  books  from  the  sim- 
plest A-B-C  to  the  most  profound  works,  it  is  easy 
to  visualize  the  scope  of  this  organization.  The 
building  when  completed  will  be  but  one  unit  of 
seventy-five  located  throughout  the  country,  effi- 
ciently serving  the  reader,  the  dealer,  the  publisher, 
the  country.

Radio  Reception 

— more  flerfed  this  summer/ 

Tremendous  improvements  in  sending  and  receiving 
combine  with  better  programs  to  provide 
the  best  of  radio  fun! 

This  is  indeed  a  radio  summer!  The  vital  interest  of  the  presidential  campaign- 
waged  right  in  your  own  home.  The  glorious  and  inspiring  church  services.  The 
important  sporting  events,  market  reports,  home  hints,  intensely  interesting  talks, 
gay  music — all  these  diversions  are  brought  directly  to  you. 


Why  Sending 
Is  Better 

Last  summer  many  high  power 
broadcasting  stations  operated 
on  a  single  wave  length.  This 
summer  they  are  spread  over 
a  wave  band.  You  may  choose 
at  your  will.  Sending  stations 
have  greatly  increased  their 
power  and  are  spreading  their 
programs  over  many  more 
miles.  Broadcasting  from  in- 
terconnected stations  includes 
many  people  who  would  form- 
erly have  been  deprived  of  the 
unlimited  pleasures  of  radio. 

For  sixteen  years  the  Brandes  name 
has  consistently  stood  for  service 
— for  skill  —  and  dependability .

Why 


Reception 
Is  Clearer 

Setshave  been  vastly  improved. 
They  are  more  keenly  selec- 
tive, more  sensitive,  more  sat- 
isfactory generally.  Vacuum 
tubes  have  been  re-designed, 
new  circuits  have  been  devel- 
oped. New  loudspeakers,  as- 
suring accurate  and  true  ^pro- 
duction, have  been  put  on  the 
market.  In  fact,  the  combina- 
tion of  finer  programs, stronger 
sending  and  clearer  reception 
now  makes  the  marvels  of  radio 
an  active  part  of  every  day  life.

The  Standard  of  Low  Pressure  Tires 


Blazing  New  Trails  of  Supreme  Motoring  Comfort  and  Safety 


Veterans  among  Balloon  Gum-Dipped  Cord 
users — those  who  were  first  to  test  these  remark- 
able low-pressure  tires — are  more  enthusiastic  than 
ever  in  their  praises. 

After  thousands  of  miles  of  driving,  overall  sorts 
of  roads,  they  have  come  to  know  just  what  Bal- 
loon Gum-Dipped  Cords  have  contributed  to  com- 
fort, safety  and  economy  of  motoring. 

They  know  that  distances  can  be  covered  in  far 
shorter  driving  time  and  that  mountainous  passes, 
rough  stretches  of  highway,  rutty,  cut-up  country 
roads  and  desert  wastes  will  not  retard  their  pro- 
gress as  formerly. 

With  these  full-size  Balloons,  road  shocks,  jolts 
and  vibration  are  cushioned  before  they  reach  chas-

sis,  engine  or  body  of  car  to  cause  damage  and  rapid 
depreciation.  With  double  the  usual  road  contact, 
Balloon  Gum-Dipped  Cords  are  the  safest  equip- 
ment for  any  car.  They  give  brakes  a  new  respon- 
siveness and  power. 

The  most  pleasant  and  economical  tours  this  sea- 
son will  be  made  on  Balloon  Gum-Dipped  Cords. 
Firestone  Gum-Dipping  puts  strength  and  stamina 
into  these  tires,  enabling  them  to  meet  every  strain 
and  deliver  added  thousands  of  miles.  This  special 
Firestone  construction  insures  minimum  fuel  con- 
sumption. 

Any  Firestone  Service  Dealer  will  make  the 
changeover  quickly  and  at  lowest  cost,  because  he  is 
prepared  to  supply  you  not  only  with  the  full-size 
Balloon  Tires  butthe  special  Firestone  wheel  as  well.

Men's  Faces  May  Be 
Things  of  Beauty 

There  is  no  reason  why  a  man's 
face  should  not  be  a  thing  of  beauty. 
In  any  event,  seeing  it's  the  only 
face  he 's  got,  he  ought  to  take  care 
of  it. 

Every  time  a  man  goes  over  his 
only  face  with  a  razor,  he  leaves 
behind  tiny  abrasions  and  some- 
times honest-to-goodness  gashes.  Let 
one  of  these  scratches  or  wounds  be- 
come infected  and  the  whole  phys- 
iognomy is  seriously  in  danger. 

Consequently,  delegates,  boy 
friends  and  favorite  sons,  you 
ought  to  take  care  of  your  faces 
when  you  are  shaving  them.  You 
can  do  it  easily  and  pleasantly  by 
using  "Lysol"  Shaving  Cream. 
This  contains  just  enough  of  the 
antiseptic  ingredients  of  "Lysol" 
to  render  it  soothing  and  healing. 
You  will  enjoy  using  it.  It  will  pre- 
vent infection  and  save  your  face.

Popular  dentifrice  easily  cleans  up  —  Sure  to 
appeal  to  voters  in  all  states  —  Known  and 
liked  everywhere 

Meeting  with  practically  no  opposition  and 
cheered  lustily  by  every  delegation,  Pebeco  was 
unanimously  nominated  as  favorite  Democratic 
dentifrice  on  the  first  ballot  taken  in  the  Democratic 
National  Convention,  now  in  session  in  Madison 
Square  Garden. 

The  Pebeco  platform  is  so  popular  in  all  sections 
of  the  country  that  the  election  looks  like  a  certain - 

.ty.  Pebeco  stands  for  a 
clean  oral  cavity.  It  has 
been  successful  in  stimu- 
lating the  salivary  glands 
so  that  they  secrete  an  in- 
creased flow  of  cleansing 
fluids  over  the  surfaces  of 
the  teeth. 

Pebeco  has  a  wide  acquain- 
tance and  is  always  remem- 
bered as  being  invigorating 
and  refreshing.  You  can  meet 
the  candidate  in  any  drug 
store. 


WelcometoNewYork 

Lehn  and  Fink,  Inc.,  as  New 
Yorkers,  take  great  pleasure  in 
welcoming  the  delegates,  their 
wives  and  daughters,  their  sons, 
secretaries,  sisters,  cousins  and

take  special  delight  in  extending

wWho  are  your 
bankers?" 


"VT'OU  may  be  asked  this  ques- 
tion  at  any  time.  If  you 
answer  with  the  name  of  a  widely- 
known  bank,  the  inquirer  uncon- 
sciously forms  a  good  opinion  of 
your  business  judgment  and 
standing. 

The  position  of  an  individual  or 
company  is  constantly  being 
gauged  by  the  name  of  the  bank 
that  is  given  for  reference. 

A  check  drawn  on  a  well- 
known  bank  is  a  business  asset.

CONFIDENCE 

CONFIDENCE  is  the  very  foundation  of  successful  business.  Without 
confidence  a  commercial  structure  would  disintegrate. 

In  no  line  of  endeavor  is  confidence  more  essential  than  in  banking.  The 
Kings  County  Trust  Company  has,  in  the  past  34  years,  earned  the  full  con- 
fidence of  its  depositors,  as  evidenced  by  its  continually  expanding  business. 

Conservative  management  and  a  personal  interest  in  each  account  partly 
explain  the  remarkable  development  of  this  institution.

TO

GREETINGS 

It  was  in  1868  that  the  city  was  last  honored  by  the  presence  of  a  Presidential 
Convention  of  one  of  the  great  parties. 

In  that  year  this  Bank,  already  old,  was  firmly  established  in  the  life  of  the  City. 

In  this  year,  The  Bank  of  New  York  and  Trust  Company  offers  all  the  facili- 
ties of  a  modern  Bank  and  Trust  Company,  and  is  the  better  equipped  to  fill 
your  present  and  future  needs  by  reason  of  its  hundred  and  forty  years  of 
service  to  the  community  in  the  past.  May  it  not  serve  you?

BACK  in  1868,  when  the  last  Democratic  Conven- 
tion was  held  in  New  York,  the  Celebrated  Dunlap 
Hat  had  already  established  itself  as  a  leading 
candidate. 

Today  you  see  the  Dunlap  Shops  with  their  distin- 
guishing red  and  yellow  striped  awnings.  And  here 
you  will  find  a  hat  for  every  need.

quality,  correct  style  and  reasonable  price.

OF  what  is  service  to  others 
the  manifestation?  The 
answer  is,  Service  is  simply  the 
objective  manifestation  of  love. 
The  only  way  anyone  can  prove 
his  love  of  his  fellow-man  is  thru 
service  to  his  fellow-man,  The 
term  love,  scientifically  under- 
stood, is  the  most  constructive 
force  in  the  universe.  It's  oppo- 
site, Hate,  in  all  its  various  modes 
and  manifestations,  such  as 
jealousy,  fear,  envy,  etc.,  is  the 
most  destructive  force  in  the  uni- 
verse. Love  constructs;  Hate 
disintegrates  and  destroys. 

One  Who  Believes  in  Service.

iHE  WHITNEY  STUDIO  CLUB 

Ten  West  Eighth  Street,  New  York,  organized 
nine  years  ago  by  Mrs.  Harry  Payne  Whitney, 
had  for  its  chief  purpose  the  provision  of  a  gallery  where 
the  works  of  younger  painters  and  sculptors  could  be  ex- 
hibited under  the  best  of  possible  circumstances.  Many  of 
the  members  who  were  students  when  they  joined  the 
Club,  are  now  artists  internationally  known  and  their 
pictures  have  been  acquired  by  many  of  the  better  known 
collectors  here  and  abroad,  Mrs.  Whitney's  collection  is, 
to  a  great  extent,  composed  of  works  of  the  members. 

Each  year  the  Club  arranges  travelling  exhibitions  that 
are  sent  to  the  larger  cities  of  the  United  States,  the  ex- 
hibitions always  being  of  great  interest  and  importance 
for  they  show  what  the  younger  American  artists  are  doing 
and  the  high  position  they  occupy  in  the  world  of  art.

Where  the  Presidents 
Bought  Their  Hats 

THESE  two  brown  'Windsor 
chairs  in  the  hat  store  of 
Charles  Knox  saw  "distinguished 
service"  for  fifty  years.  It  was 
here  President  Lincoln  sat,  and 
General  Grant. 

And  in  the  fifty  years  that  followed 
man}'  American  Presidents,  and 
many  other  leaders  in  our  nation's 
life,  made  use  of  these  chairs  when 
they  bought  their  Knox  Hats. 

But  not  one  of  the  Presidents  who 
have  worn  Knox  Hats  received 
better  style  or  more  courteous  serv- 
ice than  you  will  receive  in  any 
shop  where  Knox  Hats  are  sold  to- 
day, from  New  York  to  San  Fran- 
cisco. 

In  leading  stores  throughout 
the  country,  wherever  the 
Knox  Coat  of  Arms  is  dis- 
played, you  are  assured  of 
style,  quality  and  courteous 
attention.

Of  all  women,  those  engaged  in 
serious  occupations  should  keep 
their  fresh,  youthful  appearance. 

Inecto  Rapid,  Notox,  is  specifically  guaranteed  to  color 
— and  permanently— naturally  gray,  laded  or  streaked 
hair  to  its  original  shade  in  15  minutes;  and  not  alone 
this ;  it  also  brings  back  all  the  normal  brilliancy  with- 
out injury  to  the  texture.  The  tint  is  both  permanent 
and  natural.  Inecto  Rapid,  Notox,  has  made  possible 
"The  Art  of  Hair-Tinting."  Women  of  refinement 
and  discrimination  everywhere  insist  upon  it  in  prefer- 
ence to  all  other  hair  colorings.  It  will  neither  rub  off 
nor  be  affected  in  any  way  by  sunlight,  shampooing, 
salt  water,  Russian  or  Turkish  baths,  nor  by  perma- 
nent waving  or  any  other  hair  treatments. 

The  absolute  proof  of  its  unqualified  merit  is  that  the 
majority  of  high-class  hairdressers  from  coast  to  coast, 
who  are  the  final  authorities  on  hair  treatment,  use  and 
endorse  Inecto  Rapid,  Notox. 

In  New  York,  for  example,  it  is  used  in  the  ultra- 
fashionable  hairdressing  salons  of  the  Hotels  Waldorf- 
Astoria.  Pennsylvania,  Biltmore,  Commodore,  and  in 
the  Knickerbocker.  Inecto  Rapid,  Notox,  is  com- 
pounded in  18  distinct  shades,  from  raven  black  to 
golden  blonde.  You  may  try  it  under  our  10  specific 
and  binding  guarantees.  If  it  is  not  all  we  claim,  your 
money  will  be  refunded  without  question. 

Thousands  of  women  apply  it,  for  the  sake  of  conveni- 
ence, in  their  own  homes,  and  with  invariable  success, 
because  it  brings  back  the  original  color  of  their  hair — 
and  so  naturally  that  the  tinting  cannot  be  detected, 
even  under  the  closest  scrutiny. 

Any  woman  not  fully  satisfied  with  the  appearance  of 
her  hair  owes  it  to  herself  to  write  for  our  Beauty 
Analysis  Chart  which  permits  us  to  advise  her  of  the 
shade  precisely  attuned  to  her  individuality.

NEW   YORK   WELCOMES   THE  LADIES 

While  the  men  are  speeehmaking,  conferencing,  balloting  and  nominating,  many  of 
our  fair  visitors  will  want  to  see  our  big  city  and  its  beautiful  environs. 

Of  all  the  sights  there  is  none  more  inspiring  than  the  lordiy  Hudson  River,  the  silver 
trail  which  links  New  York  with  Albany,  Saratoga  and  the  Adirondacks. 

To  follow  this  trail  aboard  one  of  our  palatial  steamers  is  a  pleasure  you  can  never 
forget.  You  will  take  away  with  you  lasting  memories  of  the  historic  banks  of  the 
Hudson  River  revealed  in  the  soft  glow  of  the  afternoon  sunlight.  And  you  will  retain 
the  fairylike  impressions,  when,  after  darkness  has  settled,  the  ship's  powerful  search- 
light throws  the  hidden  beauties  of  the  shores  into  white-glowing  relief. 

Your  ship!  Cooling  breezes  sweeping  its  decks;  comfort  and  shelter  inviting  you  into 
its  stately  lounges,  parlors  and  dining  room;  restful  sleep  awaiting  you  in  the 
large  airy  staterooms. — You  have  a  whole  day  for  Albany,  or  if  you  care  to,  for  a  run  up 
to  Saratoga  Springs,  returning  by  steamer,  leaving  Albany  at  9  P.  M.  or  11  P.  M.

from  within  the  Grand  Central  and 
Pennsylvania  Railway  stations  is  that 
of  the  W/owTaxi  Corp.

Since  1868 

7>\CK  in  1868,  when  New  York 
LJ  last  was  host  to  a  Democratic 
National  Convention,  Lewis  &  Conger 
was  supplying  the  homes  of  leading 
New  Yorkers  with  their  Household 
Equipment. 

Since  then,  we  have  of  course  grown 
with  the  city's  growth.  And  today 
our  entire  eight  floors  are  crowded 
with  a  most  complete  assortment  of 
supplies  for  "the  kitchen  in  particular 
and  the  home  in  general." 

People  who  like  fine  things  to  work 
with  in  their  homes  will  find  a  visit 
well  worth  while.

'■Brooklyn    Museum,  New  York  City. 


THIS  stately  building,  an  active  center  of  the  arts  and 
sciences,  is  the  Central  Museum  of  the  Brooklyn  Institute^ 
on  Eastern  Parkway  and  Washington  Avenue,  Brooklyn. 
It  contains  a  notable  collection  of  sculpture  and  paintings,  tex- 
tiles and  various  reproductions  of  masterpieces,  as  well  as  Egyptian 
archaeological  collections  and  examples  of  Japanese,  Chinese,  and 
East  Indian  art. 

All  collections  have  been  donated  by  public  spirited  citizens,  but 
the  upkeep  of  the  museum  is  provided  for  by  the  city.  The 
exhibits  also  include  natural  history,  mineralogical  and  flora  and 
fauna  collections.  As  a  cultural  and  educational  force  the 
Museum  is  of  first  importance.

7S[  1 868,  New  York  entertained  its  first 
National  Democratic  Convention. 
Horatio  Seymour,  the  Empire  States 
Civil  War  Governor,  was  named  as 
the   party's  choice  for  President. 

In  1 868,  the  Metropolitan  Life  Insurance 
Company  had  about  fourteen  hundred  policies  in  force. 

The  increase  in  Democratic  votes  and  in  Metropolitan 
policies  since  1868  affords  some  interesting  comparisions.

Facts  About  the 
Metropolitan  Tower 

Fifty  stories  or  700  feet  high ; 
base  75x85  feet.  Steps  from 
base  to  top — 1,053. 

Visitor's  outlook,  660  feet 
above  sidewalk.  Within  eye- 
range  are  the  homes  of  one 
sixteenth  of  the  people  of 
the  United  States. 

The  Tower  Clock  is  the 
largest  four-face  timepiece 
in  the  world.  Dials,  26  feet 
6  inches  in  diameter;  figures, 
four  feet  high ;  minute  marks, 
10'  inches  in  diameter. 

Minute  hand,  17  feet  long, 
weight  1,000  pounds.  Hour 
hand,  13  feet  long,  weight 
700  pounds. 

At  night,  612  bulbs  are 
used  to  illuminate  the  dial 
and  hands. 

Near  the  tower's  top  is  an 
octagonal  lantern,  eight  feet 
in  diameter,  which  is  con- 
tinuously aglow  at  night, 
rising  like  a  beacon-light 
over  the  city,  and  exemplify- 
ing the  Metropolitan  spirit 
of  watchfulness  and  guid' 
ance.  It  is  known  widely  as 
"TheLight  That  Never  Fails" 


As  a  purely  mutual  company  without  stock  or 
stockholders,  serving  without  gain,  devoting  itself 
freely  to  useful  civic  endeavor  and  to  the  better' 
ment  of  health,  the  Metropolitan  has  won  recog' 
nition  as  a  great  and  beneficent  public  institution. 


Its  insurance  provides  money  to  educate  children, 
to  shield  widows  and  orphans,  to  yield  pensions, 
to  pay  off  mortgages,  to  compensate  for  sickness 
and  accidents,  to  conserve  savings  and  to  repay 
business  for  loss  resulting  from  death  in  its  ranks.
